A few questions we are asked most
often. Can’t see yours? We are happy to talk it through.
What does a conveyancing lawyer actually do?
We handle the legal side of buying or selling a property. This includes reviewing agreements, checking the property title, working with your bank and arranging settlement and the transfer of ownership. We explain your obligations and help identify issues before you commit.
How much does it cost to make a will?
The cost depends on your circumstances and how complex your wishes are. We’ll discuss what you need, explain the work involved and provide a fee estimate before preparing your will. Contact our team to talk through your situation.
What should I expect at a first consultation
Your first consultation is a chance to explain your situation, ask questions and discuss what you want to achieve. We’ll talk through how we can help, the next steps and likely costs. Bring any relevant documents and let us know about urgent deadlines when booking.
