2 [Edition datE] 5 Homeownership: should you make a will? If you have just bought your first home or already own a property, then the answer to this is yes. Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments you may make during your lifetime. It is, therefore, necessary to decide who will be the benefactor/s of your property and belongings should you suddenly pass away. To do this, you need to create a will. A will states who receives what in the event of your death. Anyone over 18 years old can create a will. According to the Public Trust, over 50% of New Zealanders do not have a will. Young people, aged from 25 to 39 years, who are financially independent, feature highly in this area, and yet they are a group more likely to indulge in adventurous holidays and take part in risky extreme sports. Accumulated assets of this age group might include a bike, car, TV, house, and furniture, along with a vast range of electronic and digital gear. With the arrival of a family, having a will in place is even more essential and yet, according to the survey taken in 2014, only 30% of 25-40 year-olds, with children, have a will in place. A will not only legally takes care of the property, and the monetary side of things but can also state who will take care of children in the event of an untimely death. What happens if there is no will The lack of a will can create problems over who will benefit from the estate - this is especially important if there are children, de facto relationships, children from previous relationships, family members with addictions, or where a business is involved. Where there is no will, the estate goes into ‘intestacy’, which means a court will appoint an administrator, who does the same job as an executor, to manage the estate. The administrator has the authority to act on behalf of the deceased and applies to the High Court for letters of administration (power to administrate the estate). The Administration Act 1969 provides a code to be followed that ensures the estate is administered in order of priority. (Check out Wills at www.communitylaw.org.nz) Save time and money Before meeting with your lawyer, and to help save time and money, decide in advance how you want to distribute your will – determine who will receive what. You can also create a DIY will online, but if the distribution of your property is complicated, you may need to contact a lawyer for additional help. For your will to be valid and legally binding it must be signed in front of two witnesses, who also must sign it. The witnesses are not in any way responsible for what is in the will or its execution. Four steps to creating a will 1. Nominate an executor – the person who will manage the distribution of your property. 2. Choose how you want to be buried or cremated, and how you want your funeral to be held, i.e. small and private, at a church, or in a garden. Make sure family or friends know in advance what you want to happen, as the reading of the will may not be before the funeral. 3. Appoint a guardian/s for your children (if under 18) and your pets. Discuss this with prospective guardians, so they are prepared and understand their responsibility. 4. Decide who will receive what and how much; this may include money, property, and personal belongings, as well as selected charities. Boundary lines are indicative only West Melton 61 Stackhouse Road Lifestyle living with income potential An idyllic lifestyle nestled on 4.3057 hectares of land. This stunning property has been well maintained and cared for, offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle, with the added benefit of additional sheds that would suit an entrepreneur with vision. Until 2017 the current owners operated a free-range chicken farm producing around 1,500 eggs per day. Sheds, feeders, silos and original infrastructure are still in place making it an ideal investment opportunity for someone. With the current shortage of eggs, we can’t help thinking the future for this property is bright. Set in a mature garden is a charming and spacious circa 1980 four-bedroom home, featuring a large verandah, perfect for enjoying the stunning views of the established gardens, which have been carefully tended to over the years. 4.3057ha 4 3 Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Thu 30 Mar 2023 3 Deans Avenue, Chch Phone for viewing times Ben Turner 027 530 1400 Craig Blackburn 027 489 7225 WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008 bayleys.co.nz/5520559
