Trusts, Wills & Estates
Personalised advice for the things that really matter.
We know making decisions about your family’s future isn’t easy. Trusts, Wills, and Estate matters are deeply personal, and our role is to make sure the legal side as clear, supportive, and stress-free as possible.
At Apogee Legal, we begin by truly listening and taking the time to understand your unique circumstances. We stay focused on your goals and provide clear, practical advice so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
We understand that these matters can be sensitive, and we’ll never rush you into a decision. Instead, we work alongside you with care and professionalism, ensuring you feel supported at every step.
With many years of experience advising individuals, whānau, and trustees, our team brings both technical expertise and genuine understanding. Whether you are planning ahead, reviewing existing arrangements, or administering an estate, you can expect thoughtful guidance and steady support from our team.
Wills
Every adult should have a will, but knowing where to start is not always easy. We take the time to talk you through the different aspects you need to consider, explain your options in plain language, and help you make decisions that feel right for you and your family. If your circumstances have changed, we can review and update your will so it continues to reflect your wishes and provide certainty for the people who matter most.
Enduring Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to act on your behalf if you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself. We guide you through the process with care, helping you understand your options and make considered choices about who you appoint and how decisions can be made. Our aim is to ensure your wishes are clear, your interests are protected, and your family has certainty if the unexpected happens.
Estate Administration
Estate administration is the process of carrying out a person’s wishes as set out in their Will, and it often comes at a difficult time. We help executors and families understand what is required and provide steady, practical support through each step of the process. Our role is to take care of the legal detail, guide you through decisions, and help ensure the estate is administered smoothly and with care.
Family Trusts
Family Trusts can play an important role in protecting assets and supporting long-term family planning, but they must be set up and managed properly to remain effective. We advise on establishing new trusts, reviewing and updating existing trusts, and supporting trustees to meet their legal duties under current legislation. Our approach is practical and considered, helping ensure your Trust continues to work as intended and remains aligned with your family’s circumstances and goals over time.
Down to earth legal advice, for every life stage.
