Plan wills, authorities, estate administration and initial family stages with care. Explore fixed scopes for personal legal decisions and cross-border questions.
A proposed 30-minute lawyer consultation: €150 + VAT. Discuss your goal, options and a custom scope.
Prepare the family, asset and document picture before choosing a legal instrument. A focused review can distinguish what needs drafting from what needs an application, negotiation or another jurisdiction’s advice.
A will, power of attorney and estate plan address different questions. Explain the people involved, their needs and the assets or transaction concerned. Existing documents should be considered together, especially where more than one country is involved.
A narrow drafting package may be suitable for a straightforward matter. Competing claims, uncertain capacity, trusts or business succession can need a more detailed scope. Raise them before a simple document is commissioned.
An initial probate application does not complete all administration, debts and distributions. Likewise, a divorce filing does not automatically decide every property, maintenance or child-related question. Ask which issues and people the engagement covers.
Defining stages is especially useful when the facts are sensitive or developing. It provides a point to assess the evidence, alternatives and cost before committing to another application or negotiation.
Begin with a non-confidential description and the outcome you need. Keep wills, certificates, financial records and private family correspondence for the accepted provider’s approved channel. A consultation brief should help the advocate identify the documents needed without exposing them unnecessarily.
If urgent protective action is required, seek prompt direct assistance. A routine introduction meeting or proposed fixed-fee service should not be treated as an emergency engagement.
Ask how the draft will be reviewed, signed and stored, or how the application will be prepared and submitted. Court decisions, certification and external appointments sit outside a promise about the lawyer’s included preparation.
A custom proposal can coordinate related work while specifying each responsibility and exclusion. You approve the professional fee, applicable VAT and known external costs before that stage begins.
