Our Estate Planning Fees

Direct Lawyers’ transparent pricing for your peace of mind

Determining the exact cost of your estate planning is dependent on various factors, including:

  • The complexity of your personal relationships (such as a blended family or specific inheritance wishes)

  • The structure of your assets (e.g. companies, family trusts, self-managed super)

  • The level of inheritance control or risk minimisation you desire

Based on these factors, the complexity of drafting your will and other testamentary documents will be assessed. Leading to a tailored fixed fee for your initial consultation, to assess your unique needs and provide you with cost-effective solutions on a fixed-fee basis.
