All that said, if your main property is in WA you should make a new will under WA law.

We bought a DIY will from a newsagents for $6.
If filled in correctly it is legal and binding (just that we haven't got round to filling it in yet )

I just went through the yellow pages and rang round for prices. We then completed a simple will which is now held by the solicitor.

Thank you for that information - I have had a look and although it is free they take a percentage of the interitence as executors. Do you know how much percentage they take. Thank you Pat

make a free will with a public trustee if you live in WA

How much do you charge to prepare a will?
The Public Trustee provides administration services for deceased estates and only makes wills for clients wanting to utilise those estate administration services. When you choose to utilise the estate administration service, your will is prepared for you at no additional charge. (You may of course pay to have your solicitor prepare the will). Note also that there is no fee for any update to your will and all wills are held in a security vault free of charge. At all times you retain the right to cancel the will at any time you choose without obligation or any fee being charged whatsoever.
How do you calculate your deceased administration service fees?
The principal charge is a commission, which is based on the value of assets, or income dealt with during the administration of an estate. The costs to an estate will depend on four things:
1.
The value of the assets
2.
The way the asset ownership is held
3.
Who you are leaving the asset to and
4.
The complexity of the work undertaken.
