Spluttering - have just learnt from a new client that another South Island lawyer (not Chch or North Canterbury) quoted $1500+GST+disbursements for a simple probate application. 'Disbursements' includes the $200 High Court fee.

My fee is $400 incl GST and courier to client. The client pays the High Court direct and pays for their own courier to the High Court.

It takes about 10 minutes of legal work, ie considering the information in the will and the information provided by the client, and ensuring that all legal requirements are met. The rest is secretarial or office work, or profit.

I am using technology to do most of the secretarial or office work for me. It takes me about 15 minutes to do what technology can't yet do.

Even at lawyer rates, slightly more than $300+GST is a good fee for 30 minutes' work.

The problem is - it looks 'too good to be true'. People are looking at my website but not taking up the offer. I need to make it more believable, with screen shots and maybe a video. I'll be working on that, over the next 2 weeks or so.

Feel free to share this (please!)......
