In New Zealand, whether you wish to make arrangements for your family in advance, safeguard intergenerational wealth, or ensure secure planning for your loved ones while living abroad, a comprehensive, legally sound, and personalised estate plan is essential.
At Righteous Law, we not only possess professional expertise in trust and succession law, but also bring a unique level of legislative insight. Our Partner, Mr Raymond Huo, previously served as Chair of the Justice Committee in the New Zealand Parliament and led the first major reform of the country’s trust law since 1956, culminating in the enactment of the Trusts Act 2019. This reform represents a landmark moment in New Zealand’s legal history.
With this background, we are uniquely positioned to offer authoritative and forward-looking legal solutions that reflect both the intent and the evolution of New Zealand trust law. Our clients include high-net-worth families, individuals with migrant backgrounds, business owners, and those managing cross-border assets. We assist them in establishing secure, compliant, and effective estate planning structures tailored to their specific needs.
Our services cover the full spectrum of estate planning — from the drafting of straightforward wills to the establishment of complex family trusts, enduring powers of attorney, and the administration and distribution of estates. We also understand the cultural considerations that are important to many Chinese clients, such as family unity, intergenerational wealth transfer, and caring for elderly parents. Furthermore, we are well-versed in the legal differences between New Zealand and jurisdictions such as China when it comes to estate matters.
