Almost half New Zealand adults don't have a will, despite having dependents and assets.  Legally, this means the court decides what should happen with those assets. Bill Holland of Tauranga’s Holland Beckett Law, tells Kathryn this can mean lengthy delays and ultimately may not result in the decision the deceased would have made. He'll answer questions texted to 2101.
