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.)
