VerifiedWhen did your parents pass away?
In Queensland it is roughly $1,500. I suspect it won't be significantly more than that in Victoria. Ideally a solicitor who does conveyancing law should assist you with this though, and that would be about $900 on top of the $1,500.
If you're satisfied with the results of your question, then I'll ask you to please provide positive feedback so that I will get credit for the time spent on your question.
