Selwyn Times Wednesday September 27 2023 24 SPORT Kempton scores in Legal Matters September is ‘Wills Month’ - Avoid Dying Intestate Recent research has indicated approximately 65% of New Zealanders do not have a will, and as September is Wills month, we thought it fitting to remind you of the consequences of dying without a will, also known as dying intestate. When someone dies without a valid will, the distribution of their assets is determined by the laws of intestacy, as set out in the Administration Act 1969. Intestacy rules allocate the deceased’s estate among their family members in a specific hierarchy. Generally, the spouse, civil or de-facto partner and children are given precedence. If there is no spouse or children, the estate may be distributed to parents, siblings, or more distant relatives. These rules might not align with your personal wishes and could potentially lead to conflict among family members. The estate administration process for intestate succession is likely to be more timeconsuming and complex than distributing assets according to a valid will. To avoid the complications associated with dying intestate, it’s crucial to create a legally valid will. This document helps ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimises the potential for family disputes, and provides a smoother transition for your loved ones during an already difficult time. A will may also include your preference for burial/cremation. This can help to reduce the stress for loved ones allowing them to honour you in the way you wish to be honoured. Seeking legal advice when creating a will (or checking if your existing Will is still valid e.g. on marriage or separation) helps ensure its validity and accuracy. Taking this step will provide you with the peace of mind that your loved ones will be provided for in the way you intend. first appearance • By Jaime Cunningham ROLLESTON COLLEGE student Shaun Kempton took full advantage of his first appearance for the New Zealand schools side by scoring a try in the team’s 57-22 win over the Barbarians on Saturday. Two weeks ago, the Selwyn Times reported on Kempton’s selection to the side. It was a big moment for the 17-year-old, who lost his dad in a tragic workplace incident earlier this year. Kempton, the first Rolleston College student to be selected for the team, came on in the second half when NZ Schools had established a convincing lead. Despite the fulltime score, it was a competitive match that saw the Barbarians trailing by just five (17-12) after 20 minutes. Captain Oli Mathis crashed over for two tries in the game, with No 8 Mosese Bason also scoring two. The match at St Paul’s Collegiate in Hamilton was the first of three fixtures for the NZ Schools team. They will now turn their focus to meeting the Australian under-18 team tomorrow in Canberra before facing off against them again on Monday. New Zealand Schools: 57 (Oli Mathis 2, Mosese Bason 2, Dylan Pledger, Josh Tengbald, Tayne Harvey, Shaun Kempton tries; Rico Simpson 7 con, pen) def New Zealand Barbarian U18: 22 (Kyan Rangitutia 2, Nathan Salmon tries; Hugh Robinson con).
