For wills and estates lawyers
Founding places for Canterbury wills and estates lawyers
Wills, enduring powers of attorney and estate administration are often reached through personal recommendation. They are also moments where people want a lawyer who is patient, clear and easy to reach.
Lawmateanz lets people describe what they need and be matched with an independent lawyer whose practice areas fit. We are opening in Canterbury first and building our first group of lawyers there now.

- After that, a flat monthly fee: NZ$150 founding price for the first 10 lawyers in a region, then NZ$250. No commission and no share of your fees.
- We check practising certificates before anyone is listed.
Client requests depend on demand in your area and are not guaranteed.

Standing out in wills and estates work
Say how you work with families: whether you do home visits, how you explain costs up front, and how quickly you reply. For this kind of work, tone matters as much as expertise.
