There are many challenges in the current environment:
- Business as unusual, remote working practical issues:
- Health and Safety of staff (are you ok)?
- safe work station set-up
- Digital signatures - they only get you so far:
- Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 – exclusions
- Pre and post Modification Orders for Wills
- now there are three different types of Wills:
- Normal valid wills
- Validation wills
- Modification Order wills
- #whichwilliswhich and what additional clauses are required?
- Does the original signed by the will maker need to be sent to the holder or is a scan or photo enough?
- EPAs - When you just can’t wait:
- getting these done right in a way that will create a valid EPA
- Pre and post Modification Orders for Oaths and Declarations
- Audio-visual or audio only?
- Are changes required or appropriate for attestation clauses?
- Probates:
- In an environment where there are Skype funerals, which aren’t accepted by the Probates team, what evidence do you use?
- The importance of robust systems and processes in a fast moving space
- The future for New Zealand:
- Has the current situation shown we have a healthy appetite to catch up with the rest of the world, such as the UK which allows Probates to be filed on-line?
