Are you the executor in a will? Get an estimate before you proceed with probate
You need probate because your brother had more than $15,000 in Kiwisaver. Your brother's lawyer holds his will. That lawyer says they will get probate for you. That's a relief!
Before you go ahead, ask them what it will cost. (If you don't ask, they don't have to tell you beforehand.)
Ask them whether that includes the High Court fee.
If they say something that totals more than $600, maybe ask them to wait until you get back to them.
Then take a look at our website. (Hint: in most cases, we charge $400, to which you add the High Court fee of $200.)
It's entirely up to you - although, as the executor and trustee of the estate, you do have a duty to act in the best financial interests of the beneficiaries.
All the best
