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).

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
