ESTATE PLANNING COSTINGS

The normal documents which we prepare for an estate planning exercise are:

  1. Deed of Family Trust
  2. Lease of Residence
  3. Agreement for Sale and Purchase
  4. Deed of Acknowledgement of Debt
  5. Deed of Forgiveness of Debt
  6. Gift Statement
  7. Transfer
  8. Notices of Sale
  9. Settlement Statement
  10. Will(s) or Codicil(s) to Will(s)
  11. Minutes of Meeting of Trustees
  12. Enduring Powers of Attorney for Property and Personal Care and Welfare

The cost of this is usually between $2500 and $3000.  If there is a mortgage on the title, then this may also involve a discharge of same and a substitute mortgage being taken. This would cost a further $450 plus any bank consent/discharge fees.

Our costing is very reasonable.  It is necessary to compare apples with apples, as other quotations may embrace only minimum documents.

NOTES

  1. The costs on the sale and/or purchase of a business do not include the cost of special resolutions, preparation and filing of any other company documents, surrenders of lease, the Landlord's costs (including consent fee) on the Lease or Assignment of Lease, stamp duty, licence fees and insurance premiums.
  2. If a collateral mortgage is required over residential property, the costs will increase if such mortgage is a second or subsequent mortgage and/or any alteration in priorities is required.
  3. The costs on a sale or purchase may also increase if the nature of the business requires the obtaining of licences or transfer of existing licences (e.g. sale of petrol, BYO or liquor licence etc), the obtaining of special planning consent, and/or the approval of the local body or any other authority (e.g. Securities Commission).
  4. All of the above costs assume a straightforward transaction without disputes or protracted negotiations. Anything other than a straightforward transaction will incur further costs.
