Why you should have a Will

Why it is so important

Many people believe they don't need a will until they're older or have accumulated significant assets. The reality is that every adult should have a valid will, regardless of their age or stage of life.

A will gives you the opportunity to decide how your assets will be distributed, who will manage your estate, and, if you have young children, who you would like to appoint as their guardian.

What Happens If You Don't Have a Will?

If you pass away without a valid will, your estate will be distributed according to New Zealand law. This means your wishes may not be followed, and your loved ones could face unnecessary delays, stress and additional costs while your estate is administered.

When Should You Update Your Will?

Your will should be reviewed whenever there is a significant change in your life, such as:

• Getting married or entering a relationship

• Separating or divorcing

• Having children or grandchildren

• Buying or selling property

• Changes to your financial circumstances

• The death of a beneficiary or executor

Keeping your will up to date ensures it continues to reflect your wishes.
