The costs relating to the mangement of an estate depend upon the kind of management work that you request us to complete.

This can include:

Much of this work can be attended to by the executor directly. It is however essential to keep estate funds separate and to keep very clear records. We strongly suggest that you use the services of a law firm if there is any disharmony in the family.

Some executors employ a lawyer to complete specific tasks only for example the transferring of the assets mentioned at items 1 - 3 above. We would quote on undertaking each task.

Executors may also choose to attend at our office for the purpose of asking questions in relation to specific matters only. A meeting for an hour or part of an hour to deal with specific matters costs $440

Dispute

(Professional costs for attendance to discuss dispute for up to one hour $400 plus GST)

A letter of demand can usually be drafted for approximately $700 plus GST

It is not possible to estimate the time or cost that needs to be allocated to assisting to resolve a dispute until we have and understanding of:

1. the circumstances of the dispute
2. The facts as you allege them
3. The facts as the other party allege them
4. The evidence that supports those facts
5. what you hope to achieve

The cost of obtaining this information from you and providing a preliminary advice is estimated to be $2,500 plus GST

It is common once an understanding of the matter has been achieved to attempt to achieve a settlement at the earliest possible time. This can save some cost. The cost of negotiating and drafting a settlement agreement is usually between $800 and $2500 depending upon complexity and the willingness of the parties (including you) to compromise.

In the event that settlement cannot be achieved then the next stage is to provide further advice to you. It is likely that as the matter develops professional costs will continue to be revised. Our costs agreement will set out all of the various steps that may be required in the proceedings. Each step if necessary adds additional cost.

Please contact us if you wish to discuss legal costs and how these are calculated. You will never be charged for a discussion regarding only legal costs.
