Want to Be Control of What Happens to Your Assets Both Now and When You Die?

We are the estate lawyers in Auckland to talk to.

Estates & Trusts

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:

Trust establishment and administration
Wills
Enduring powers of attorney
Probate and estate administration
Family trusts
Estate and trust disputes
Will and enduring power of attorney requirements for retirement villages
Will disputes & contesting

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with two solicitors at Evolution Lawyers (Soomy Jang and Nimo Ni) and both were terrific.  They were very responsive, thorough, and careful to explain a complicated process as carefully as possible. Nimo followed up to answer questions even after settlement. Dana Carrad, Office Coordinator, was also fantastic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received with my inheritance case, which was quite complex due to international inheritance laws.  Throughout the entire process, they were responsive, professional, and transparent. They took the time to explain things clearly and made a complicated and stressful process feel much more manageable.

I also really appreciated how fair and reasonable they were with their fees. They never charged excessively and often took extra time to answer my questions and provide guidance without adding extra charges.

I truly appreciated their expertise, patience, and genuine support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evolution Lawyers recently handled the sale of my property. I have utilised their services in the past for a sale and purchase, their good service is why I chose them again. Josh was a pleasure to work with and kept me updated all the way. I really liked the teams meeting to sign the final documents. Saved a lot of time by doing this.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Evolution lawyers was first class. From the very interaction through to final settlement service was fast and straightforward. We got good solid advice through the process and our lawyer Soomy was clear in his advice. I am a lawyer myself which is always a tough client and I have no hesitation in highly recommending this firm. It is modern, tech savvy and so easy to engage with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a real blessing to have Evolution (Nimo & Tamina in particular) oversee the purchase of our property outside of Auckland. Was not a straightforward process. So many unplanned obstacles & delays throughout - but their professionalism, patience & empathy in equal amounts, kept us from worrying & stress.
Forever grateful & I highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently reached out to Tamina after not having worked together for some time.

As an ERP implementation consulting firm Primacc Systems deal with complex commercial situations regularly, and on this occasion, we needed clear guidance quickly. Tamina was incredibly responsive and provided practical, well-considered advice at a time when it really mattered.

What stands out most is her ability to listen, understand the context, and give straightforward, commercially sensible guidance without overcomplicating things. That combination of responsiveness, clarity, and sound judgement is exactly why Evolution are our lawyers.

If you want the right people in your corner then we highly recommend.  You won't be dissapointed.
