Deceased Estate Administration Fees
Our fees to administer a deceased estate are prescribed and regulated under the NSW Trustee and Guardian Act 2009 and the NSW Trustee and Guardian Regulation 2017. The fees include the costs associated with obtaining a grant of representation and the cost to administer the estate.
Fees are deducted from your estate and based on the value of the assets that are soley owned by you.
Joint assets, such as bank accounts, or a house, will not attract a fee (except a minimal charge to ensure a house is registered in the name of the joint tenant/owner).
