The offer of a free Will It Package is only available to FANZP and IEA members who currently have their life insurance through the Air NZ Employee Benefits package for FANZP and IEA Pilots. If you would like to enquire on your eligibility please contact your AON broker : Jamie Thomson (Ph.+64 27 324 3612) (Email: jamie.thomson@aon.com).

Once you activate your Will it package benefit, you will be emailed a friends and whānau discount code. This will give them a 15% discount to use on any of Footprint's products.

When you leave Air NZ, your admin will off-board you and you will then receive a continuation offer, where you can choose to retain your account at your own cost. You will retain the Will It package with a 50% discount for the first year and then it would move to full retail pricing. You can find more information on the Footprint website here. If you choose not to continue with the Will It package your account will move to the Single Will account which means there will be no ongoing yearly charges but you can update your Will by purchasing an update as and when you need one. Your Footprint Will remains in place until you do a new Will which would then replace it. If you have sent the original Will to Footprint they will continue to look after your Will for you. It is important you use your personal email address when activating, to ensure you have access to your platform after you leave.

Most lawyers use Will templates and populate their customer’s information into it. The Footprint platform does the same. The platform was built by lawyers and provides solicitor approved, legally valid Wills and each Will is reviewed by professional Will drafters. There are times when complex situations need a consultation which is why Footprint works with Perpetual Guardian.

If our system identifies that your situation requires a complex Will, we’ll refer you to our third-party provider Perpetual Guardian for a phone consultation. They will advise of any fees and charges before you embark on the process with them. You can learn more about their Services, fees and charges here.

The legal age to receive any inheritance in New Zealand is 18 years old. If you leave anything to anyone under this age (for example any young grandchildren, or nieces and nephews) it’ll be held for them by the trustee of your Will. However, this money is still available before the age of 18 for certain things like child support or education etc.

The answer is yes, it’s legal to have an executor who’s also a beneficiary in your Will. But Footprint think it’s a good idea to keep the beneficiaries of your estate and your executor separate - just in case your Will is challenged as it could be seen as a conflict of interest, but it’s totally your call.

Once we have drafted your Will, you will be advised to log into your Footprint account and review its contents. You can then download a copy, print it single-sided, and sign it. Signing your Will requires two witnesses who are not named in your Will as beneficiaries and who are over the age of 18. You and your witnesses will need to initial each page. Following the instructions exactly is super important as missing a step can actually make your Will invalid, crazy we know but that's the rules. For further information on how to sign and witness your Will, download our helpful checklist to Signing your Footprint Will.
