From our clients
Adelaide couples who now have it all in writing
Our kids now have a named guardian
We'd meant to redo our wills since our first baby. In the meeting we chose who'd raise the kids if anything happened to us both, then signed everything on Pirie Street.

We knew the fee before we sat down
Legal bills were our big worry. The package was $890 for the two of us, set before we came in, so we spent the hour on our questions instead of the cost.
Marco and ElenaNorwood
We've named each other as attorneys
After Sam's dad went into care, we saw how hard it gets when no one has the say. Now we each have an enduring power of attorney, with my sister as back-up.
Anika and SamUnley
Our wishes are written down at last
We'd talked about our care wishes for years and never put them on paper. Our advance care directives now say what we want and who decides, and the kids know it.

Case study
How Leah and Marcus finally updated their wills
Leah and Marcus each had children from an earlier marriage, and their wills were written before they met. Neither had a power of attorney or an advance care directive. What held them back was the cost they couldn't see.
They took up the $890 package. In their one-hour meeting they worked out how to look after each other and all four children, chose their attorneys, and asked every question they'd saved up.
They signed all six documents in our Adelaide office. The fee was the $890 they were told at the start.
- 6
documents signed: two wills, two powers of attorney, two care directives
- 4
children provided for in their new wills
- $890
for the two of them, fixed from the start

Plain answers to what couples ask before they start
What does the $890 cover?
A one-hour meeting with us; a will, an enduring power of attorney and an advance care directive for each of you; and signing them all in our Adelaide office. That's six documents, for one fixed fee.
Is the fee really fixed?
Yes. The package is $890 for a couple, set before your meeting. It covers the meeting, all six documents and the signing, so you know the fee before you commit.
What is an enduring power of attorney?
It's the document that names the person you trust to manage your money, property and financial paperwork for you. It's called enduring because it keeps working if you lose the capacity to make those decisions yourself.
What is an advance care directive?
In South Australia, an advance care directive records your wishes and values for your future health care, where you live and other personal matters. It can also appoint substitute decision-makers to make those decisions for you if you can't.
Do we both need to come in?
Yes, to sign. Each of you signs your own will, power of attorney and care directive, and the signing in our Pirie Street office is part of the package.
We already have old wills. Is this for us?
Yes. A will written before a marriage, a separation, a new baby or a new home may no longer say what you want. The package gives you both new wills, written for your family as it is now.
How do we get started?
Send the form on this page. We get in touch to confirm a time for your one-hour meeting, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm.
Can we talk to you before we commit?
Yes. Your first 30-minute consultation with us is at no charge.
