New - use your own lawyer for probate, and still save $$$$$$

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

About 30% of new applications are rejected by the Probate Unit. (Source: letter from Probate Unit team leader, 7 Nov 2019.) Almost all of those are submitted by law firms.
Applications prepared by Kiwilaw are very seldom rejected - and the small number of rejections is decreasing as we improve our guidance to clients.
However, clients like the reassurance of using their familiar lawyer.
GOOD NEWS!! Law firms can now use Kiwilaw's service to prepare probate-application documents efficiently and at a reasonable price.
So if you're an executor and you need probate, and you don't feel confident about doing it yourself with Kiwilaw's help, ask the estate's lawyer to use Kiwilaw's service ($390 to law firms, plus fees for their own attendances and disbursements).

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
