TERMS & CONDITIONS
We hate bill surprises as much as you.
We are dedicated to price transparency from the get-go.
That is why most of our services are provided on a fixed fee basis so there is no bill shock.
But there are some terms and conditions.
The advantages of fixed fee cost agreement
A fixed fee cost agreement enables us to provide you with an agreed price up front so you have certainty about the cost of our service.
Experience in the area of estate administration allows us to provide a fixed-fee price for grants of representation and estate planning packages that are fair for you and our business.
When you engage our services, we will provide a cost disclosure notice that has a detailed description of the work to be performed for the agreed price.
The cost disclosure notice will also provide a description of services that are outside the scope of work and a description of foreseeable contingencies that might affect the scope of work and agreed price. As soon as we become aware that additional work is required or complications have arisen, you will be informed.
Fixed fees published may be updated periodically
The fixed fees published on our website may be updated periodically, usually at the beginning each financial year.
The cost disclosure notice provided to each client at the commencement of each matter will contain the fixed fee applicable to each matter. Please notify us if there is a discrepancy between the fixed fees published on the website and in your cost disclosure notice.
