Better options out there for making a will. They now charge for every thing you do.

2018/19 Horrible experience. My deceased father had Public Trust as Executor to his Will - know doubt because it was a free /or almost free service up front (years ago). It took 10 months, $7500 in fees and this was a straight forward simple Will to do.
Any questions I ask PT via email were addressed in Red reply - It felt like being told off by a headmaster. Communication was poor and rude.
I had to request PT for an account, progress and breakdown in costs incurred - this is after 10 months from lodging Probate (they just debit what they like - they hold your money).
In 2019, Public Trust are an out of date business model , they leverage off Old Public Trust values from the past (when State owned).
I would recommend anyone with elderly parents check who is the Executor of the Will and perhaps talk with your parents and do some research.
