Having a will allows you to decide how your assets are distributed after your death. It can help provide for your family and loved ones, and for your chosen charities.

This is a statement in your will instructing your executor to give a specific item of property, sum of money, or percentage of the residue of your estate, to a particular person or organisation, such as Arohanui Hospice.

By consulting a solicitor, the Public Trust, Guardian Trust or other trustee company. Obtaining the services of a solicitor will greatly reduce the likelihood of any difficulties to do with the validity or the interpretation of your will.

You can review and update your will at any time. It is recommended that you review your will every five to seven years. When doing so, you have the opportunity to consider making a bequest to Arohanui Hospice.
