How much do you reckon?
How much do you reckon?
It depends how you do it really. Firstly, I would let your wife go to the lawyer alone at this stage and don't even let him know your in the country. Secondly, if she shops around and lets each lawyer she approaches know that she is shopping around before she goes ahead and then leaves it for a few days, then maybe one of them will contact her to haggle a bit for the job, if he thinks maybe she got a better price somewhere else. Finally, whatever price is quoted, she must make sure that this will be the price; there will be no hidden extras or extra fees that he forgot or claims just didn't know about, or had changed since he last carried out this kind of work; the list of reasons for charging more goes on and on............
I remember when my wife was going through a different procedure, that an affidavit was required for something or other and if my memory serves me well, it cost about P5000. but this was in addition to the other work the lawyer was already involved in for her.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Iain.
