Public Trustee (Fees) Determination 2016 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2016-10
made under the 

Public Trustee Act 1985, s 75 (Determination of fees and charges)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Under section 75 of the Public Trustee Act 1985, the Minister has power to determine, in writing, fees for the purposes of this Act.

This determination replicates the fees schedule for 2015-16 in the Public Trustee (Fees) Determination 2015 (No 2), with one amendment to item 89, the preparation of a will.

The maximum fee of item 89, the preparation of a will, is increased to $600.00 to recover costs involved in preparing complex wills and where the Public Trustee is not the primary executor. The instrument also amends the corresponding explanatory note to reflect that this amendment increases the previous 2015-16 fee from $465.00.
