Why you need a Will now more than ever

Why you need a Will now more than ever

This article was prepared by Holland Beckett and is being published by the New Zealand Herald as advertorial. In today's evolving financial and legal landscape, having a valid Will in place has never been more critical for New Zealanders. The absence of a Will can lead to unnecessary delays, stress, and cost for families. One of the most overlooked reasons to have a Will is KiwiSaver. Many people assume their KiwiSaver balance will automatically pass to their partner or next of kin on death, but that's not how it works. KiwiSaver funds are held solely in the name of the individual and do not pass by survivorship (think, property held as joint tenants). Instead, they must be dealt with as part of the person's estate, and if there is no Will, this creates delays and uncertainty in accessing those funds. With the recent Government budget injecting more incentives and support into KiwiSaver, balances are likely to grow significantly over time. Another relevant factor is the probate threshold. Currently, assets over $15,000 will require a grant from the Court. This threshold is due to increase to $40,000 in the near future, to better reflect current asset values. In real terms, the threshold is easily exceeded - especially when you consider KiwiSaver. Without a Will, for which the court can grant 'probate', family members must apply for 'letters of administration' which can be slower and more complex, particularly when family dynamics are tense. At the same time, more New Zealanders are choosing to own property as tenants in common rather than joint tenants – especially in blended families or where people wish to protect their children's inheritance from a new partner. This structure allows each party to leave their share of the property to whomever they choose, provided they have a Will to specify that. In this situation, a Will should complement any Contracting Out Agreement (or 'Pre Nup'). Many family trusts are now being wound up or simplified because of changes in trust law, compliance costs, ageing/migrating settlors and international beneficiaries (giving rise to tax implications). As assets come out of a trust and revert to personal ownership, they become part of a person's estate and must be carefully dealt with by their Will. Overseas properties, investments and digital assets can be challenging to deal with if someone passes without a Will (or Wills) to reflect what should happen to assets in other countries. Having a Will is no longer just about passing on the family home – it's about ensuring some thought is given to the increasing complex assets and arrangements of the modern estate. With the right guidance, a complicated situation can have a clear and manageable solution. The key is to decide what you want to achieve, and get a Will drafted to reflect that.

Big Ideas wins multiple awards at NZ Sign Display Awards

This article was prepared by Big Ideas and is being published by the New Zealand Herald as advertorial. At Big Ideas, design is more than aesthetics – it's about bold thinking, meticulous execution and a relentless drive to exceed expectations. That ethos was proudly recognised at the 2025 New Zealand Sign Display Awards, where Big Ideas once again led from the front, collecting multiple accolades across a range of categories. Each year, the NZ Sign Display Awards honour the country's most outstanding signage projects – and this year, our team was privileged to have their work recognised among the best of the best. It's a moment that reflects not just our capability, but the shared passion and precision our team brings to every brief. Excellence at every level Among our standout wins was the Gold Award for our work with branding Emirates Team New Zealand's racing helmets, our goal was to match the boat livery while adhering to strict safety rules – including 125mm² of reflective or bright colour for visibility. We used a reflective chrome blue and oilslick glitter vinyl, applied by two skilled technicians using knifeless tape. The chrome's spherical application was challenging, with every design element hand-laid for precision. Digitally printed lower sections matched the boat, while swish designs and logos were carefully placed by hand. Helmets were sealed using a 2-pot clear coat in layers for a glossy, durable finish. Our team engineered the artwork in-house, meticulously aligning every sponsor logo for maximum impact and compliance. See the award-winning project here. But it wasn't just our senior team being recognised. One of the most meaningful moments of the night was seeing apprentice Beau Little take the stage – twice. First, to receive the Gold Award for Work by an Apprentice, and then again to accept the Keith Langstone Highflyer Award, given to a rising star in the industry who shows drive, commitment and huge potential. Learn more about Beau's journey here. Celebrating our team For Big Ideas director Ross Hall, the night was more than a celebration of success – it was a proud reminder of the strength of his team. 'Every award is a tribute to the people behind it,' says Ross. 'From apprentices to seasoned professionals, every member of our crew brings skill, curiosity and heart to their work. These accolades are the result of their tireless commitment to doing things better, smarter and bolder.' Always evolving, always creating Whether it's an ambitious nationwide rollout or a bespoke local installation, Big Ideas approaches each project with the same belief – that great design makes people stop, engage and remember. It's this thinking that has cemented our place as one of Aotearoa's leading creative signage firms. As the industry evolves, so too does our commitment to pushing boundaries. With new technologies, materials and ideas constantly emerging, we're proud to remain at the forefront of innovation – never standing still, always moving forward. See what's possible
