Keep The Change What Every Kiwi Needs To Know About Wills, Prenups & Protecting Wealth: Holly Egerton
1 in 2 New Zealanders don't have a will. That means when they die, their family gets chaos, uncertainty, and massive legal bills to sort everything out.
Holly from Succession NZ breaks down what actually happens: default rules kick in that split assets between partners and kids (not how most people want it), court applications cost thousands, and families fight over who's in charge. We cover the $40,000 threshold that freezes your Kiwisaver, why getting married cancels your will, and the retirement village fees that shock every family.
The brutal reality? Your inheritance can become relationship property if your kids don't protect it properly. Your parents' house could end up half-owned by an ex-partner.
