As prices rise and we enter the “spending season,” many are looking for ways to save money. One area seeing growth is online will providers, with prices as low as $80 (especially during Black Friday sales). However, these services can lead to costly mistakes, particularly with appointments and gifts—much like DIY wills.
As I always tell clients, “You don’t know what you don’t know.”
We’ve seen the complications that arise from online wills after the will maker passes. Correcting these errors through court intervention can cost tens of thousands of dollars—money that could have gone to your beneficiaries.
If you’ve delayed preparing your will due to uncertainty about your estate planning goals or possible changes, our experienced lawyers can help. We’ll work with you to clarify your objectives and present options to achieve them. Whether you need a will in a few weeks or after several months of planning, we’ll ensure it’s legally sound and reflects your wishes.
We typically meet with clients twice, though more meetings may be required. These can be in person or via video call (Teams, Zoom, or FaceTime). Our goal is to make estate planning as simple and efficient as possible for you.
The fees for having your will prepared by Harris Freidman Lawyers are an investment in ensuring your wishes are clearly documented, and that your beneficiaries are protected. Contact us today at (02) 9231 2466 to get started.
