Immigration matters can often be challenging and stressful for the immigrants wanting to either work or permanently settle in New Zealand . Difficult and complex legislation is often not easily understood by lay people. We provide personalised and effective Immigration advice to our clients. We are able to provide advice in English, Punjabi and Hindi and are therefore able to cater to the special language needs of our clients, if necessary.

We deal with immigrants belonging to various different nationalities. Our client base encompasses Indians, Fiji Indians, Cambodians, Chinese, South African and New Zealanders. Due to the diverse client base, we are familiar with the cultural needs of our clients. We endeavour to assist them in their immigration matters keeping in mind their specific needs.

We specialise in temporary entry class applications including work visa, student visa, visitor visa and residence class visa applications under various different categories (family categories, skilled migrant, etc.). We also assist our client’s in Section 61 requests (Overstayer applications), Appeal to Immigration and Protection Tribunal and special direction applications to the Immigration Minister.

Wills

We can prepare a Will for you that ensures that your wishes in relation to disposal of your assets go to those you want to inherit. Without a Will, your Estate could be distributed under the Rules provided in the Administration Act.

A Will made in a Law Office is normally cheaper to administer than a Will made with a Trust Company.

Administration of Estates

We are experienced in the administration of Estates including Applications of Probate to the High Court which enables the Will to be used to uplift and distribute the assets of the deceased in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. We also assist the clients in filing an application for Letters of Administration, in the event, your loved ones have passed away without leaving behind a Will.

Enduring Powers of Attorney

We provide sound advice in relation to the preparation of an Enduring Power of Attorney for both Personal Care and Property. These documents normally come into force when you become mentally incapable and are unable of making decision about your personal care and welfare and property matters.
