The cost of making a will with a solicitor: a fixed $495

A simple will is a fixed $495 including GST, and an enduring power of attorney is a fixed $330 including GST. A testamentary trust will starts at $2,200 including GST. Wills involving a blended family, a business or a trust are quoted before we start.
