All Topics / General Property / Transferring NZ property into trust – use lawyer?
G’day all, can anyone please recommend a lawyer or conveyancer in NZ?
I’ve just set up my NZ trust and want to transfer my 1 and only IP into it. It’s currently in the names of myself and 3 others but i’m buying them out.
Do people recommend i use a lawyer, or is it pretty straight forward and i can use a conveyancer to save money?
Is there any advantage to using a local person (Wanganui) or can i use anyone?
Thanks [biggrin]

Always use a lawyer.

Hi,
We have used a NZ Accountant to set up our Trust, not a solicitor. I’m sure they are cheaper than a solicitor.
I don’t think you could use a conveyancor. They are not trained in such things.
Also, remember the saying: Pay peanuts, get monkeys (or something like that)!

Thanks for the info. I’ll definitely use a lawyer for the conveyancing so it’s not mucked up.
Hi Del, I think you misunderstood my question. I’ve already set the trust up (thanks to the good advice i got here [biggrin])
I now want to transfer the IP into the trust.
