Tēnā koutou katoa, Haeri mai 2021
Greetings to one and all, Welcome 2021
What a challenging year 2020 was, and what a relief to be in 2021. From the stunned news that “we are going into lockdown” to “the team of five million”, how privileged are we to be in Aotearoa New Zealand. We have all taken away some negatives and some positives from 2020. Read more
KW Legal will close for the Holiday Break from 12 noon on 23 December 2020, reopening on Wednesday 13 January 2021.
All of us at KW Legal wish you a very happy Christmas and safe and enjoyable New Year.
The New Trusts Act comes into force on 31 January 2021.
Tēnā koutou / Greetings to All
Firstly, why do we have Trusts?
A Trust is a good vessel for protecting your assets for your children. You can favour one Beneficiary over another which gives you greater flexibility than your Will. Your spouse and/or children can make a claim against your estate if you have not provided for them in your Will. It is more difficult to challenge the distribution of a discretionary Trust.
We are pleased to confirm that, KW Legal has returned to Covid 19 – Alert Level 1.
Our offices are open to our clients and it is still business as usual. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. If you would like to see Katherine, Kim or Viv, you must make an appointment first.
For your convenience we have a QR Code for the NZ Government Covid 19 Tracer App. This is on display at reception. On arrival please use the hand sanitiser and ring the bell.
If you are unwell, we would appreciate you staying at home.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Noho ora mai / Stay well, look after yourself.
Congratulations Kim Cotton on being awarded Umpire of the Year. We at KW Legal are all very proud of you.
