Added after your Smart Start. An annual review as life changes, the preferred legal rate, and half-price estate administration for your family.*

You’d rather set and forget. Your Will stays valid and free either way.
Choose it at Smart Start checkout, or add it any time in your first quarter.
*Requires a current Smart Managed subscription and 12 months since your Smart Start. See Fees & Services.
Standard administration includes
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
Keeping your executor informed throughout, and a final administration summary
Legal work for a standard estate, carried out by a Willzee legal partner, is covered within the capped fee.
Legal work at a preferred rate.
The legal work is done at a preferred rate Willzee has already agreed, so your estate isn’t paying market rates arranged under pressure.
Paid when the value is real.
Nothing to pay during your lifetime. The fee comes from your estate at death, when the service is actually delivered. Done now, paid later.
Itemised for your executor.
Every invoice shows the Willzee service fee and the legal partner’s fee separately, so your executor sees exactly where the money goes.
Willzee has your estate administration sorted, whatever the size of your estate.
Small estates that don’t need probate can be wound up by your executor, with a small release fee. Larger estates pay one simple fee, and for the largest, our cap keeps the overall cost in check. Estate fees are halved for qualifying Smart Managed subscribers.* If your executor chooses another provider, a lower release fee applies instead. See Fees & Services for the detail.

WITH AN ONLINE WILL PROVIDER
You pay upfront for the document, and often again for each update. Most are fill-in-the-blanks forms that don’t adapt to your situation, and nobody reviews what you’ve written, so mistakes can go unnoticed until it’s too late to fix them. When you pass, there’s usually no estate administration behind it, so your executor has to find a lawyer and pay market rates when it matters most.
WITH WILLZEE
Your Will and every update are free, for life. The questions adapt to your situation as you go, and Smart Start adds an expert and legal review if you want one. When you pass, Willzee works alongside your executor, and the legal work is done at preferred rates already agreed with Willzee’s legal partners, inside one fee that’s agreed upfront and capped.
The Willzee difference: a Will built around you, and an executor who starts with a team and a rate already in place.
