Public Trust Estate Charges
Hi all, a while back I had a bit of a moan about public trust and their estimated charges for my mothers cash only estate. Having now been finalized just want to give people a picture of their charges:
Fixed Fee charges
Estate establishment fee $2,024.00
Estate Finalisation Fee $1,641.00
External Term Deposit Set-up fee $55.00
Income Commission $119.01
Physical & Digital Office Expenses $55.00
Probate/Grant of Administration fee $949.00
Time and Attendance charges
Additional Services $1,714.34
Beneficiary distributions $63.07
Communications and meetings $409.26
Complex grant of administration $328.90
Deal with estate assets and liabilities $3,108.14
Legal services $95.20
Processing payments and receipts $425.04
Tax administration services $161.92
Disbursement Paid for on behalf
Administration costs $66.78
GST $1,440.22
Total(including GST) $11,215.66
Pretty straightforward cash only estate although the additional services will likely relate to trying to locate my errant brother who was never going to talk to them anyway (public notice & then a PI).

🌍✈️ Why It's Plane Sense to Challenge the Flight Path ✈️🌍
Wellington Airport announced some 'Gamer Changer' information in the news. New infrastructure could mean bigger and louder planes over our suburbs, affecting more residents. Massive aircraft like the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900, are twice as loud as the jet flights we experience today. Using AI, we’ve created a visual comparison of these new planes—take a moment to check it out.
💡 What can we do? We need to act now to revert the flight path back over the harbour, rather than turning left after takeoff and climbing over the slopes of our peak terrain - Mount Kaukau. But to do that, we need your support.
📢 We’re raising $25K by 2025, and we could use your help to reach our goal. Help us take action.
