Record New South Wales funeral costs in the relatives action and the estate
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- In a firm-controlled tool, list each funeral invoice and flag it if it could be claimed under both section 3(2) of the Compensation to Relatives Act 1897 and section 2(2)(c) of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1944. Do not add it twice.
- What the lawyer must review
- Claim the same invoice once. Both Acts can allow funeral expenses.
- Include the reasonable cost of a headstone or tombstone where section 3(2) allows it.
- Use the icare figure of $15,000 only as the page states it, and confirm it on the day.
