Business Succession $220 per document and/or entity
Small business owner or a company director? What will happen if you lose capacity or die? Who will step into your decision making shoes? Will the business be frozen and your employees go unpaid?

Family Trust $440
Business Succession $220 per document and/or entity
Business Succession $220 per document and/or entity
You and your accountant set up a Family Trust for good reason. Regardless of its function - such as holding shares in a business or sitting dormant - a modern estate plan needs to consider who is in control if you lose capacity or die. A thorough review of the trust deed will give us the rules to play by when appointing someone to step into your shoes.
Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) $880
Business Succession $220 per document and/or entity
When was the last time you read through the 80+ pages of the trust deed establishing your SMSF? Give that job to us. A modern estate plan looks to who can control your SMSF if you lose capacity or die. Let's also make sure your Binding Death Benefit Notice/Nomination (BDBN) is valid (or maybe you don't have a BDBN!) otherwise there may be unintended consequences.
International Assets $220/$150
Assisted Reproductive Treatment advice and drafting $220
Do you hold assets in a country or US state which is a signatory to the UNIDROIT Convention (don't worry, our instruction form lists each one)? An international Will ($220) may be your solution. Or, your international assets are in a non-UNIDROIT country or US state - there is a solution for you too ($150).

FAQs
Do your prices include GST?
*Yes, all prices include GST.
What if I need a Will urgently?
Whether travelling overseas or going into hospital for surgery, or something else, we can work with you to get your estate plan done! For a 72 hour turnaround from initial instructions to signing, our urgent fee is $330.
I am an adult child and want to help my elderly parent make a new estate plan, can I?
Yes and no. Adult children are important support for their parents or near relatives. We encourage you to have open discussions with your parent about their estate plan and you can even talk with us to help make an appointment. But when it comes to providing instructions and meeting in conference, your parent must do this alone. We will take good care of them, we promise! If your parent is over 80 and/or has a medical condition that may affect their capacity to make legal decisions, please understand if we ask for a doctor's certificate confirming capacity.
English is my second language, do I need an interpreter?
Depends. A solicitor must be confident that their client understands the act of making a Will, understands the contents of their estate planning documents, knows what makes up their estate and knows who in their world would reasonably expect to be a beneficiary. If you think you, your partner or family member whom you are supporting, may struggle to read the Will and/or understand our questions in conference, then we recommend an interpreter be present in the conference. We will provide a quote for this service at the time of your booking.
What states do you practise in?
We work with clients in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
How long is our video-conference?
Allow about 60-90 minutes for our video-conference. We will work together to make sure as much of what is important to you, and what the law wants us to do, is in balance. You are likely to laugh, learn a lot and feel a great sense of relief once the pieces of your estate planning puzzle come neatly together.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, if you live in the NSW regions of Illawarra, Southern Sydney, Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven. Within the Illawarra, our in person fee is $150, all other areas $220.
Can we meet after hours?
Yes, Saturday mornings by negotiation. Our Saturday fee is $150.
Can I contact you directly?
Yes please. If I don't pick up the phone straight away I am likely with a client.
