Should I also get a Power of Attorney?

Most people should — a will only takes effect after death, while powers of attorney let someone you trust manage your affairs if you lose capacity during your lifetime.

How much does a will cost in Victoria?

Q: How much does a will cost in Victoria?

A professionally drafted will in Victoria typically starts from around $250 — far less than most people expect.

A simple, professionally prepared will in Victoria commonly starts from around $250+GST for an individual (a little more for a couple). Complex estates — blended families, trusts, business interests — cost more because they need careful drafting.

A cheap DIY kit is tempting, but a badly drafted or improperly witnessed will can be challenged or fail entirely — leaving your family with delay, cost and conflict. A lawyer makes sure it's valid, clear and does what you intend.
