[WLG] Create Enduring Powers of Attorney (Personal Care and Welfare + Property) - $130 (Single), $250 (Two People) @ Spilt Milk

270
CHEAPIESEPA

An enduring power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone you trust the power to make decisions about either your health and welfare or your property if you become unable to. An EPA has to be witnessed by a lawyer, legal executive or trustee company (e.g. Public Trust).

If you're in Wellington, we've got plenty of availability in May to advise on and witness EPAs - and to give back to the Cheapies community we're doing them at a stupidly low price. Simply fill out the standard EPA forms as best you can, upload them at spiltmilk.nz, and schedule a time to meet in person by 7th June to sign the EPAs. Book before 11 May.

Price for both a personal care and welfare EPA and property EPA for a single person: $130 ($120 document review fee, $10 fee for in person advice and witnessing)

Price for both a personal care and welfare EPA and property EPA for a two people who are each appointing each other as attorney: $250 ($240 document review fee, $10 fee for in person advice and witnessing)

Please note that this price is for standard EPAs only. We may refuse to honour this pricing if you wish to include special conditions or any complex consultation requirements in your EPA (feel free to ask, and if it doesn't look too onerous we'll probably still honour the price).

Unfortunately this deal is Wellington-only for now, as I need to see each client in person in my office for the witnessing.

    Wow, very sharp price @SpiltMilk! I got a very standard 1) personal care and welfare EPA, 2) property EPA, and 3) will from one of the big law firms in Wellington for $2100 a couple years ago. The cost of the x2 EPA's was about $1000. I'll definitely be recommending your services to friends and family.

      Yeah, this isn’t a sustainable price for me long-term, although the sustainable price is well below what you’ve paid.

      But the firm is new and not overflowing with work, and I also want to give back to the community (may well wear my 2014-era Cheapies shirt if I know it’s one of you coming in).

      I’d also note re your pricing example that it’s a different level of service - I require you to fill out most of the document yourself, and a more expensive firm likely wouldn’t.

    Tyrone is so considerate and honest. Can’t recommend him enough

    • Thanks for the feedback! That’s really nice to hear.

  • How are you going with all the $1 consults? Hope you did well out of them (if you are through them all even!)

      It was a mission! I've got a few I couldn't respond to (a few unclear questions, some areas needing specialist expertise, and one conflict) but broadly felt like most people got a semi-useful response. I've had some further work, although not an enormity.

  • Some lawyers quoted my parents $350/each to draft a simple will. Is that too much? How much do you guys charge?

      also interested in this, following :)

      • Same here. I'd like to use your services, OP, because I like what you're doing, but I don't have any legal issues😂

    • +1

      $350 isn't obviously crazy. Assuming the will is actually pretty simple, I'd charge $250 for a single will, and $150 for the second - so $400 total.

      • I would be very keen on the service or would it only be offered in Wellington or can it be Nationwide?

        • Will can be nationwide as you don't need a lawyer to witness it. Flick me a PM or an email - [email protected]

  • Great offer - thanks! This has been on the to-do list for a while. What part of Welly is the office in?

    • Opposite NW Thorndon. Hope to see you soon!

      • Perfect! I'll talk to my partner and probably make a booking!

  • Does an EPA have to be witnessed by a lawyer or can it just be a JP?

    • Lawyer, legal exec, or authorised staff member at a trustee corporation like Public Trust.

      This is because it’s not just witnessing, but also explaining the legal implications and making sure they are understood.

      But I reckon it’s pretty silly - we let people make wills without this kind of certification, and the advice is mostly pretty pro forma anyway. Should be able to do a standard one without advice IMO, and then just get advice for anything unusual. But that’s not the law sorry!

  • It's literally cheaper to fly to Wellington to see Tyrone than to do it with my local lawyer!

      Hope the Tribunal sides with you on that one, OP.
