You’ve Got a Will, But Have You Got a Way?

Published on Thu Jun 5 2025 in Money

Many New Zealanders understand the importance of having a will. Yet, a significant number overlook the financial implications that come with end-of-life arrangements. While a will outlines your wishes, it doesn't cover the costs associated with fulfilling them.

The Reality of Wills in New Zealand

Recent research indicates that nearly half of New Zealand adults do not have a will. Even among those who do, many are unaware that a will doesn't provide the funds needed for funeral expenses.

The Missing Piece: Funeral Insurance

A will specifies your desires, but without the financial means to execute them, families may face unexpected burdens. Funeral insurance ensures that your loved ones have the necessary resources to carry out your final wishes without added stress.

Planning Ahead for Peace of Mind

By combining a well-prepared will with a comprehensive funeral insurance plan, you provide clarity and financial support for your family during a challenging time. This proactive approach ensures that your legacy is honored as intended.
