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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
