Your Will. Our Way.

One of life’s ‘must haves’ is a Will. A Will is a written document that simply states what you’d like to have happen to your money, possessions, and assets when you die. Your Will is the way to avoid any arguments and conflict among your beneficiaries during a time of grief.

Your Will is a key document in the process of distributing your assets—including life insurance and investments—in a timely and hassle-free way.

It’s a simple fact. The majority of New Zealanders don’t have a Will. They either haven’t had one written, or can’t remember where the document might be. They may also have avoided the process, in the belief that it is overly complicated and costly.

This means that their wishes for the protection of their family, and distribution of assets, might not be fulfilled.

We’ve created Simple Wills so that you, your family, and other loved ones, have the assurance that the assets which you have acquired throughout your life will move through the process without delay, and be appropriately distributed - thanks to your Will.

Moreover, our service offers a cost-effective, user-friendly, and simple way to have this legally binding document protecting your wishes when you can’t.

It may be - but life is full of change. That is why Simple Wills recommends that if anything happens to change in your life, your relationships, or your family situation—and you want your Will to reflect these—then a new document should be produced. Again, Simple Wills makes this straightforward and cost effective.

The majority of Wills are usually straightforward to develop and administer. Simple Wills has been developed for such cases. For situations which are more complex, or involve a variety of parties and legal structures, dealing with a lawyer is the best option. Simple Wills can recommend lawyers capable of delivering good service and value.

The Simple Wills process and resulting Will has been vetted by lawyers to ensure any document produced is legally binding.

Simple Wills does not store Wills on behalf of advisors and/or their clients. Once created, we recommend that the Will is put in a secure place - somewhere people can find the document.

People who want advice are best to talk to their key advisors—like their lawyer or accountant—to make sure they develop a Will that reflects their wishes. Simple Wills is designed for straightforward situations and is a service which intermediaries can offer to their clients.

Absolutely not. Again, Simple Wills is merely a service offered to intermediaries looking to provide their clients with the best options for creating, and managing, their assets. Simple Wills only provides the means to achieve a simple, and cost- effective, Will.
