Bereaved? choose the legal services you need
'Unbundled legal services' - including Kiwilaw's probate service - is a fancy name for 'pick and choose what you need'.
Just like in a supermarket, or when buying travel - you don't have to buy a readymade meal if you prefer to buy ingredients, and you don't have to do everything through a travel agent if you prefer to do some of it yourself online.
You can use Kiwilaw's online probate service to save money on the grant of probate, and still use your favourite lawyer for advice and help with the rest of the estate administration. Our standard fee: $490 incl GST (+High Court $200 fee).
If the executor doesn't want to act, or there's no will, Kiwilaw's service can handle that too.
(This is our junior collie, pointing out that trying to take a photo of a pile of law books - for our nearly-ready 'Guide to Estate Administration' - was a waste of good play time.)

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.2% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.7% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.2% Yes!
-
67.8% No thank you.
