FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions,
straight answers.

Common questions, straight answers.

Common questions, straight answers.

What happens if I die without making a Will?

If you die without a Will (known as dying intestate), the law decides who inherits your estate. This may not align with your wishes and can cause unnecessary stress for loved ones.

What makes a Will legally binding?

A Will becomes legally valid when it clearly sets out your intentions, is made by someone of sound mind, and follows the required legal steps for signing and witnessing.

What happens after I finish my Foundation Will?

After completing your Foundation Will, you’ll receive an email with secure links to your optional Schedules. These help you record extra details such as assets, care preferences, and digital accounts. You can complete them anytime — now, or later when you’re ready.

How can I make sure my Will is not contested?

Make reasonable provision for close family members and keep your Will up to date. Willzee supports this by documenting your intentions clearly and transparently.

Can’t I just use AI to write my Will?

You can, but AI tools don’t verify your identity, structure your Will for NZ law, or store your documents securely. Willzee provides the complete process — from recording your wishes to ensuring your Will is stored, shared, and ready to stand up in court if needed.

What is Willzee Smart and do I need it?

Willzee Smart is a paid membership that gives you access to expert support when creating your Will, ongoing legal advice at a discounted rate of $250/hr, and 50% off estate administration fees when the time comes — saving your family $2,500–$15,000. It starts with a 1-hour guided session — included at joining — to help you complete your Will properly and get the most from the Willzee system. Smart is worth considering if you own significant property or assets, have overseas assets, are in a de facto, blended or second relationship, have an existing trust or want to create one, or want to exclude a family member. It's also the right choice if you simply want someone to guide you through the process and stay available for legal questions over time. If your situation is straightforward and you're confident completing your Will independently, Willzee Free is a complete, legally valid option at no cost — and you can always upgrade to Smart later.
