Concessional Legal Fees
The Clover Law Legal Fee Policy distinguishes between Clients whose Adviser is entitled to a Concessional Fee or a Non-Concessional Fee. The difference between the two Fees for a Complete Succession Agreement is $990. A Business which is entitled to a Concessional Fee can therefore save $990 with respect to the cost of a Complete Succession Agreement. There is no difference in the Fee with respect to a Simple Succession Agreement.
Marketing Licence The Concessional Fees only apply to Clients of Advisers with a current Marketing Licence which entitles the Adviser to use the Clover Law Adviser Support System. The Adviser Support System requires an Adviser to undertake training, which enhances their ability to give Succession Planning Advice both time- and cost-effectively. Under the System, the Adviser pays a Licence Fee that entitles their Client to a free Client Meeting and a Concessional Legal Fee with respect to their Agreement. The Non-Concessional Fees apply, if the Adviser does not have a current Licence. Clover Law may quote different Meeting, Advice, Documentation and Variation Fees, if the Adviser does not have a current Licence.
Timeframe for Payment of Concessional Fee The Concessional Fee is only available if complete instructions and payment are received before the Policy Owners apply for the Cover.
Application of Standard Fee If the draft Agreement is not finalised and signed within six months of the first draft, the standard Fee will be applied in cases where the Concessional Fee was originally charged. Clover Law will render an invoice for any additional Fee before finalisation of the draft Agreement.
Reduced Legal Fees The Clover Law Legal Fee Policy distinguishes between Standard and Reduced Fees. The difference between the two Fees for a Complete Succession Agreement is usually $990. The difference reflects the extent to which the Clover Law Documentation Procedure has been complied with. The Reduced Fee is only available to Clients whose Adviser is entitled to a Concessional Fee. Click here to read more about the Reduced Legal Fees. Additional Fact-Finding Fees It is not always possible to complete all of the details of the Business Structure and Liabilities of the Business in the Client Meeting or Teleconference. If the information is not supplied in the Questionnaire, there will be an additional Legal Fee of $440 to collect the information from the Business or its Advisers, review it and incorporate it into the Succession Plan and Documentation. Click here to read more about the Additional Fact-Finding Fees. Draft Questionnaire Clients and Advisers should email or fax the draft completed Questionnaire to Clover Law before formally submitting it, so that Clover Law can advise what additional information still needs to be supplied. If this information is supplied with the completed Questionnaire before the Cover is applied for, this will usually avoid the need for the Fact-Finding Fee.

Adviser Tip The standard Fee allows for up to two (2) hours’ consultation with the Adviser or Client with respect to the Client’s needs and the completion of the Questionnaire.
