Shouldn't need to be in WA....altho a face to face is probably preferable.

Cheers

Hi Nigel

What sort of costs are normally involved in fully worked set up.

Say you have a number of companies and trusts involved and covering not only ourselves but also our children who hould some shares in the companies and are benificiaries from the trusts.

I am just going through this procedure and dread to thinkwhat the costs are going to end up like as we are also having retro fit some re assignments within our structure. (this arose as a consequence of finding we are being sued in the middle of working through the will thing)

I know its a bit like 'how longs a piece of string' but your thought would be appreciated,

Cheers

I would have thought it shouldn't cost more than say $5k absolute maximum for a complex situation.

More likely $1,500 - $3k + GST.

Cheers

Appreciate any recommendation for a Sydney based solicitor for relatively simple will (with HDT) as well.

Been meaning to do this for a while, but the thought of dealing with yet another solicitor is a good reason for procrastination.

I assume Nigel could do the work for you. He's certainly in Sydney.

Cheers

As far as I know, Nigel doesn't do that type of work - I'd suggest you go to a solicitor who specialises in these things.
