Will conveyancing be a fixed fee?

Often yes for a straightforward residential purchase or sale, plus disbursements such as title searches and registration fees. Ask for the fixed fee and the estimated disbursements separately.

Can a conveyancer do it instead of a lawyer?

In Tasmania, licensed conveyancers can handle property transfers. A lawyer is the better choice if there are complications - an estate, a dispute, a company or trust involved.

What happens if I die without a will?

Your estate is distributed under the statutory rules rather than your wishes, which may not match what you intended, and it can be slower and more expensive for your family. A simple will is inexpensive by comparison.

How are legal fees charged?

Either a fixed fee for a defined task, an hourly rate, or a scale fee for some court work. Ask which applies and ask for an estimate in writing with the assumptions it rests on.

About lawyers in Devonport

Devonport is the north-west's port city, where the Spirit of Tasmania berths and freight heads inland to the Coast and up to the highlands. It is the gateway to the north-west and a working port rather than a resort town, with the Mersey River through the middle and the surrounding districts given over to farming and small holdings. Coastal salt air is a fact of life on this stretch of coast.
