Trusts, Estate Planning & Asset Protection

Comprehensive and personalised estate planning 

Protecting yourself and your assets from unforeseen future events is an important consideration for many New Zealanders. At Glaister Ennor, we offer comprehensive estate planning services including wills and enduring powers of attorney (EPAs). However, as asset values increase, and creditors become more aggressive, the benefits of trust structures are also important to consider. 

Tailored solutions for peace of mind

Our clients benefit from our breadth of experience and the time we take to get to know them, understand their current situation and what their goals are for the future. This personalised approach allows us to provide tailor-made solutions that fit each client’s specific needs. Our in-depth knowledge of trusts and estates ensures that your affairs are managed effectively, providing peace of mind.

Flexibility and outside-the-box thinking

There is no one size fits-all solution, so flexibility and thinking outside-the-box is fundamental to our approach. We don’t just ask you for standardised information, we sit and work with you to set out your objectives clearly. Once your individual objectives are agreed, we will offer you advice on the most appropriate structure and work with you to create it.

Comprehensive and seamless advice

Personal and estate planning often overlaps with property and business matters. Glaistor Ennor’s size allows us to provide seamless advice across these areas, leveraging our extensive resources while maintaining a personalised touch. We are large enough to offer comprehensive services but small enough to ensure you never feel like just a number.
