This project offers free consultations with solicitors to draw up documents for a fee of $50 per document to cover costs. If the solicitor who sees you thinks that your financial circumstances and/or the amount of work involved in helping you means you fall outside the scope of this service, the solicitor will advise you of this and refer you to a more appropriate legal service.
All appointments need to be booked through COTA NSW:
Phone: (02) 8268 9616 or 1800 449 102 (for callers outside Sydney metro)
We can also arrange for wills, power of attorney and guardianship to be done online by video link through your computer of mobile phone without the need for a visit to our office, although you DO need to be familiar with the internet and be able to scan and print your own documents.
If you have any further questions please contact COTA direct or the writer on 0243242004
