North Haven Hospice has partnered with EveryWill, NZ's top-rated free Wills platform to give you the opportunity to write a free will online.
We want you to have the peace of mind over the things that matter most to you. You can appoint someone to represent you in carrying out the instructions of your will (an executor), name who the guardians of your children will be, say what you would like to happen with your pets, who you would like to give your things to, write any personal messages and include any gifts to charities you wish to make.
It only takes a few minutes of your time once you've worked out what you want to do and the instructions are easy and simple to follow.
There is no obligation to include a gift to North Haven Hospice in your online Will, although the option is there if that feels right for you. We also recognise that you will put your family first.
Should you choose to, including a gift in your online Will to North Haven Hospice will help secure the ongoing provision of our specialist services in the future. With your help we can be there providing free care and support for the people close to you, your family, whānau and friends in the generations to come.
If you have an existing will, you need to speak to your lawyer to add a gift to North Haven Hospice.

A Will is more than just a legal document; it’s a way to ensure your wishes are respected after you're gone.It allows you to decide how your assets are distributed, who will care for your loved ones (including pets!), and how you'd like your affairs to be handled. Without a Will, these decisions may be made by the courts, and often in ways you wouldn’t have chosen. If you have a partner, children, whānau, or anything you'd like to pass on, it’s important to have a Will in place.

Yes. If you already have a Will, you don't usually need to write a new one. Your lawyer can prepare a simple update (known as a codicil) or advise whether a new Will is the best option. They can also ensure the wording is legally correct so your wishes are carried out as intended.
There are several ways you can leave a gift:
No. Your decision is completely private and there is no obligation to let us know. However, if you choose to tell us, we'd simply like the opportunity to thank you and understand the incredible difference your future gift will make. There's no need to tell us the amount or any personal details.
Absolutely. We understand that your family and loved ones come first. Many people choose to leave a small percentage or residual gift to North Haven Hospice after they've provided for those closest to them. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure future generations in Northland can continue to receive hospice care, free of charge.
