Is this Last Will and Testament drafted for New Zealand law?
Yes. It names New Zealand law as the governing law, uses local legal terms, and adds drafting notes wherever a local rule needs checking. It is a template, not legal advice: have a lawyer in New Zealand review it before relying on it.
Is a will made from a template valid?
Usually yes, if it is signed and witnessed exactly as your jurisdiction requires. Most invalid wills fail on signing formalities, so follow the signing instructions carefully.
