Your Will costs nothing to create and nothing to update, for life. When the time comes, we look after your estate for your family: probate, paperwork, and distribution, alongside your executor.

Around half of New Zealand adults don't have a Will. When someone dies without one, the law decides who gets what.

What's the catch?

Is it really free?

Yes. Creating your Will is free and updating it is free, for life. Nothing is charged while you are alive, unless you ask for personalised legal advice.

How does Willzee make money?

We automate the work that normally takes a lawyer several hours, so our costs stay low enough to give every New Zealander a free Will. Our income comes later, from a single fee for looking after your estate. That fee is what keeps us running now, so we are here for your family when it matters.

What do you charge, and when?

One fee, paid from your estate after you die. Nothing is charged while you are alive. It covers your Will and every update while you are alive and the work of looking after your estate afterwards, alongside your executor. The fee is capped, and set out in full below.

What does the estate work involve?

Your fee covers the standard work of winding up an estate: applying to the High Court for probate or letters of administration, preparing your executor's affidavit, dealing with the Court and any requisitions it raises, collecting straightforward New Zealand assets, closing bank accounts and releasing funds on your executor's instructions, and preparing a final summary for your beneficiaries. Your executor has someone to talk to throughout.

How does that compare with a lawyer or trustee?

Most people never look at what dying costs until it happens. A lawyer charges for the work, so the bill is not known until it is done, and rates reach $400 to $600 an hour. Trustee companies charge a share of the estate itself and the law allows them up to 5% of its gross value. Willzee agrees its fee before you write a word: the greater of $5,800 or 1% of the estate value, capped at $30,000. On a $750,000 estate that is $7,500, where a trustee company charging the maximum would take $37,500.
