Our specialist team establishes and administers trusts, prepares wills, assists with estate planning, and handles matrimonial and partnership property issues for New Zealand and overseas-based clients. We also act as power of attorney for clients.
We are sensitive to what our clients want and can help to manage the tensions that sometimes occur within families when discussing assets and individuals’ wishes.
We aim to maximise your wealth for the benefit of you and your chosen beneficiaries, by protecting your assets from potential claims of non-beneficiaries. We position your assets for easy transfer.
If you would like to find out whether a trust is right for you, would like to set up a will or relationship property agreement, or would like estate planning advice, call one of our partners or managers listed below to discuss how we might be able to help.
