I've just found this site - www.moneyhub.co.nz... - an excellent survey of several inexpensive will providers, plus important principles and guidelines.

CLICK ON THE LINKS - neighbourly.co.nz doesn't show the full URL within the post (instead it shows an elipsis i.e. 3 dots ...). I like the Perpetual Guardian www.ewills.co.nz... option - it's a bit more expensive than some versions but is still only $100 for a basic will, and has input by their legal team rather than depending solely on a computer. I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experiences with any of these providers - and if you'd like a quick check of the finished product just to reassure you that it's okay, we can probably arrange that - over coffee in Oxford if you're paying, or by email for $20 (limited to the first 10!)

You should review your will regularly - but that doesn't necessarily mean you need a new one.

* your will specifies your children by name as beneficiaries and you have had another baby in the meantime;

YOU NEED A NEW WILL IF:
* your will specifies your children by name as beneficiaries and you have had another baby in the meantime;
* your will makes cash gifts that you no longer have the money for unless your house is sold;
* your named executors can no longer act;
* the executor is the Public Trust or a lawyer and you don't want your estate to have to pay the level of fees they will charge;
* your ex-spouse/ex-partner is the executor and your separation/ dissolution happened after the will was made;
* you have married or entered a long-term relationship since making the will;
* you have changed your mind about who gets what, or your will specifies particular property that you no longer own;
* you need to appoint a 'testamentary guardian' for your children, and your current will does not do this.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Today's discovery was an estimate of $800 (incl GST) to transfer land from a deceased owner to the executors/administrators once probate is granted (or letters of administration). I admit to being a bit surprised. Are any local lawyers doing this for less? (Would you like Kiwilaw to?)

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.
Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.
Below is an example of the scam email:

I am very upset the the Christchurch Council are to give ten million dollars of rate payers (our) money to help restore the Christchurch Cathedral. In this age of user pays why should this happen? How can this happen?
What would ten million dollars do for the homeless, the sick or the elderly? What would it do to help those still suffering the effects of earthquakes both physical and mental? This is insane!
At a time when all our social services are woefully under funded how can it be right to waste so much public money on this crazyness. What would Jesus say and do? Even the most pious know the answer to that one.
This is not about religion or the belief system, I do not want to get into that long winded and unprovable argument, this is about doing the right thing with public money by the people that need it.
It is simply a case of needs versus wants, no more, no less.
The rate payers are not a bottomless pit of cash for churches, statues or new cars for council staff. Next time you are in town go into the West End car park, lift to the top floor and take a look at the amount of nice shiny vehicles that are lined up with the council logo on them...it is astounding.
I for one will not be paying any part of my rates to support this self indulgent project, anyone else feel the same way?
