We regret to inform you of the passing of Oscar Alpers, the Principal Lawyer at  Alpers and Co Northwest Law Office. We are deeply saddened by this loss and our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

After careful consideration by the executor of Oscar Alpers’ estate, Alpers and Co Northwest Law Office has had to commence the wind up of its operations and has closed as at 31 July 2024. If you are a client of the practice, you have the option to move your files and any trust monies held on your behalf to another law firm of your choice, which the team assisting on wind up matters can assist with over the coming weeks.

As to any files, Deeds, or trust monies that are not claimed, we have been working with the Law Society and have been seeking out a receptacle firm into which undirected trust monies, files and deeds may be placed. A further update will be provided to all clients of Alpers & Co once the same is established.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, or if you require assurance with transitioning your legal matters to another law firm, please do not hesitate to contact one of the team on 359 8311 or email info@advocate.nz. We are all here to assist you and ensure a smooth transition.
