2. Deliverables: We may require you to pay all outstanding fees prior to the finalisation of our Services, or prior to you receiving an executed copy of any deliverable, such as a will, trust deed or enduring power of attorney.

3. Initial Payments: For some Services you will be required to pay an initial amount at the end of your consultation, as outlined on the Fee Page. This will be outlined to you at the commencement of the consultation.

4. Cancellation Fee: For some Services, at the conclusion of a consultation, if you decide not to proceed with obtaining the Services through Public Trust, you may be required to pay a cancellation fee as outlined on the Fee Page. If a cancellation fee applies, you will be informed at the beginning of your consultation.

5. Hourly Rates (Where applicable): The hourly rates for the work we perform will be listed on our Fee Page, or if they are not listed on our Fee Page, they will either be provided to you following a consultation in a letter of engagement or available on request.

6. Additional fees: If it takes longer to complete the work than was estimated at the consultation, including if additional complexities are identified, you will receive a revised estimate of our charges prior to finalising. Payment of any additional fees may be required prior to additional work proceeding.

7. Cancelled Work: If you decide not to proceed with completing your requested Services or finalising any deliverable such as a will, trust deed or enduring power of attorney, you must let Public Trust know. You will still be liable to Public Trust for work undertaken up until the time we become aware of your intention not to proceed.

8. Ongoing Work: If Public Trust acts as your executor, trustee or attorney, or in any other fiduciary capacity, the fees, charges and hourly rates listed on our Fee Page will apply.
