In New Zealand, probate will be required if the deceased had a valid will and held significant assets in his or her own name worth more than $15,000, such as land bank accounts investments, shares or life insurance.  Obtaining Probate is the process of proving the will to the High Court and having the Will formally accepted as the last Will. Our skilled estate law team can ensure that this process goes as smoothly as possible, allowing the executors to get on with administering the estate.
