And there’s more! When you visit our stall, you’ll receive a voucher for a free initial consultation with one of our life planning experts, giving you the opportunity to sit down and discuss your personal situation in more detail.

Plus, we have more goodies in store, but you’ll have to come and see us to find out what they are! 👀

Planning for later life is more than having a will. As life changes, so can the things you need to think about, and sometimes it’s hard to know where to start.

We’re one week away from the Shaping Your Legacy Expo, where you can have a chat with our team about:
- Wills & estate planning
- Enduring Powers of Attorney
- Protection of Personal and Property Rights
- Retirement village contracts
- Estates
- and more!

Whether you’re starting from scratch, your circumstances have changed, or you simply want to check that everything is still on the right track, come and talk to us. No appointment. No pressure. Just an opportunity to have a conversation to answer your questions, explore your options and work out what comes next.

We’re here to make legal planning feel a little less daunting and support you every step of the way.

If you couldn’t make your own decisions, who would? And would they know what you wanted?

It’s a confronting thought, but planning ahead can make things much easier for you and the people you love.

As part of the speaker series at the Shaping Your Legacy Expo, our team will be presenting on Enduring Powers of Attorney and the Protection of Personal and Property Rights, covering:
• What an Enduring Power of Attorney does
• Advance Care Directives
• What can happen if you lose capacity without these documents in place, including what your loved ones may have to face in order to make decisions for you

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part, but we’re here to make the process feel more manageable.

A great evening in Warkworth earlier this month, with our Warkworth team and Employment Law team coming together to host 'The Employer's Survival Guide: Navigating Workplace Problems' for local employers and business owners. It was great to see such strong engagement throughout the evening, with plenty of questions and discussion.

We were delighted to donate $10 from every ticket to Harbour Hospice, supporting the specialist palliative care they provide to many in our local community.

A big thank you to One Mahurangi, Warkworth for supporting this event!
