What are you trying to do with the BFA? Are you sure you need one?

 

They just wanted $10k to do one ?

 

What's it going to cost you if you don't and things go pear-shaped?

 

Is that a question? Or did they quote you $10k. I would have estimated around $5k upwards.

 

Also, for bigger and more complex asset pools, I'd guess more than $5k. $10k might be reasonable.

Its certainly not just a simple "draw up a contract" type of legal work.

 

I got quoted $10k and they were not really sure how well it would hold up in court (one of theirs got over ruled in court) I also got quoted $2.5k from another firm (recommended by lawyer who did my will)

 

How do you know the latter (or any) will hold up in court in Australia?

 

It will all depend on the situation, how it is drafted, what is included, what left out and the circumstances. The most perfect agreement can be useless if there is undue influence, fraud, non dislosure etc.

I reviewed one for a client recently. "crap" is the only way to describe the document. He didn't disclose all his assets for starters, so it was invalid on that basis, and there were many other aspects not included such as an expected inheritance. He was charged $2200.
