Our team of experienced estates and trusts lawyers can advise you on how to manage your assets during your lifetime, and for after you pass away.
Whether you’re looking to set up a trust to protect your family’s assets, want to sort out your will and enduring powers of attorney, or need assistance with administering an estate, our estates and trusts lawyers are here to help get the best outcome for you and your family.
We will work with you to ensure that your trust is structured appropriately to suit your family’s needs, effectively protects your family’s assets, and is administered according to the requirements of the Trusts Act 2019.
To minimise stress and give peace of mind to your family, we can help you draft a will that ensures they are looked after as you wanted, after you die. We can make sure your will records your wishes about how you want your property to be distributed, what happens to your body after your death, and any other special instructions you have.
Maybe you’re worried about who will manage important things like your health or money when you can no longer manage these yourself. We can advise on both personal care and welfare and property enduring powers of attorney, and draft these so that your affairs are looked after by people you trust.
If you’re the executor of a will, you might feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of having to administer the deceased’s estate. Our experienced estate lawyers can help guide you through the process of getting probate, distributing the estate according to the will-maker’s instructions, and winding up the estate.
Our lawyers can help with the following:

This has been a very thorough process and we have felt supported in every way by their professional and friendly approach.

Thank youSheryl Waru2024-04-22My experience with Evolution Lawyers, especially working alongside Tamina and her team, has been nothing short of exceptional. What sets them apart is their genuine commitment to incorporating kaupapa Māori values and principles into their legal practice, creating a supportive and culturally sensitive environment for their clients. From the outset, I was impressed by her deep respect for tikanga Māori and her willingness to integrate it into every aspect of my legal proceedings. Tamina and her team took the time to understand my cultural perspective and ensured that my voice was heard throughout the process. Their approach was not only legally sound but also culturally responsive, which made me feel valued and understood as a Māori client. Nga mihi nui e hoa, nga manaakitanga. SherylAlwyn Hamblyn2024-04-11Tamina from Evolution Lawyers deserves so much more than 5 stars! With the sensitive nature of the case that Tamina assisted with, we can't thank her enough. She was so professional and efficient in all aspects of the case. Her communication was excellent, and when she believes in you, she definitely fights in your corner! Highly recommend Tamina, and her team.Greg Heap2024-01-18Professional and friendly service once again from Evolution Lawyers. We had an unfortunate family disagreement about our 3 party joint property ownership, with one party insisting on immediate sale and threatening court action via their lawyer. We shared a joint mortgage as well. Two of the three parties didn't want to sell with the market conditions being poor and a sale would have been at a big loss. After talking withThomas (Managing Director) and Favour (Solicitor), and expressing our worries about not wanting to sell our home, the joint mortgage, finances and the disagreement with the other party, and the stress we were feeling Thomas got out an old fashioned white board and came up with a plan. Then over the next two months Favour put that plan into action. It involved us collating years of financial information; working with our broker (who was contacted by Favour) to obtain a new home loan which was a feat in itself given that we are an older couple; communication with the other party's lawyer and working out and getting signed a Deed of Settlement before we could progress to the actual Title Transfer and agreement between the 3 parties to move the property from three owners to two. We are amazed at the way this complex situation was able to be resolved by the hard work (including a big rush pre-Christmas to get it sorted) and professional expertise of the team at Evolution Lawyers; Thomas, Favour, Georgia, and Sophie all assisted us on this occasion. Thank You.Kylie Stafford2023-11-08We can't speak highly enough of Tamina and the Evolution Lawyers team. Purchasing a property is stressful and when you throw a few curveballs into the mix you need a slick team in your corner to navigate the obstacles and set a clear path. That's exactly what they did for us, minimising the pain, keeping us safe and communicating in language we could understand at every step. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You all helped our little whanau dream come true with care and aroha. Kylie & Jo.Paul Hoskin2023-10-11I have nothing but positive things to say about the service, care, and expertise of the team. Service delivery was fast and accurate and being in a different country didn't make a difference because the use of technology is in their DNA. The cost was super reasonable. I highly recommend the company.Load more
