FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to prepare a Will?
We offer fixed-fee Will preparation. The exact fee depends on your circumstances and the complexity of your estate planning needs. We will agree on this with you after your initial consultation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Do I need a lawyer to prepare my Will?
While you can prepare a Will yourself using a DIY kit, these documents are often not tailored to your circumstances and can result in costly mistakes or disputes. A Wills and estate planning lawyer can ensure your Will is legally valid, accurately reflects your wishes and works as intended when your loved ones need it most.
How often should I update my Will?
It’s a good idea to review your Will whenever your circumstances change. Major life events such as marriage, separation, divorce, the birth of a child or grandchild, purchasing property, starting a business or receiving an inheritance may mean your will should be updated. Even without significant changes, we recommend reviewing your Will every three to five years.
Do you offer Wills and estate planning appointments in the Sutherland Shire?
How long does it take to prepare a Will?
The time required depends on your circumstances and the complexity of your estate planning needs. Many wills can be prepared promptly once we’ve met with you and received the information we need. During your initial consultation, we’ll explain the process and provide an indication of the expected timeframe.
