Wills & Estate Planning

What’s the Cost of Making a Will With a Lawyer in Brisbane?

The cost of making a will with a lawyer in Brisbane depends on how you choose to create your will and whether it includes an enduring power of attorney. As having a will is crucial to your estate planning and helps to protect those you leave behind, it is essential to engage a specialist wills lawyer to assist in preparing your will.

While will kits are available and often very affordable, they are no substitute for the expertise of an experienced legal practitioner specialising in wills and estate planning. Mistakes in the preparation of wills (or not having a will at all) can prevent your loved ones from inheriting what you intended to leave them. Therefore, it is imperative that a will is professionally prepared. This is particularly important if:

  • Your estate is significant
  • You plan to include multiple parties in your will
  • You are currently separated from your spouse or de facto partner
 

At McCarthy Durie Lawyers in Brisbane, our highly skilled team includes dedicated wills and estates lawyers who can assist you with all aspects of preparing a will and estate/succession planning.

We provide trusted advice to help you organise your affairs and make informed decisions regarding your will and estate. Having one of our experienced wills and estates lawyers in Brisbane prepare your will is cost-effective, and it can be even more affordable if both partners prepare their wills at the same time.

 Protect Your Family — Prepare Your Will and Estate Today 

It is easy to procrastinate and delay preparing a will, but what if you passed away without one — what would happen to your family? Without a valid will, your estate would be distributed according to Queensland law, which may not align with your intentions. To prevent mistakes and ensure your loved ones are taken care of, contact the wills and estate lawyers at McCarthy Durie Lawyers in Brisbane today.
