Question: solicitor costs

Didier

A solicitor quoted 100 EUR for a service. He wrote this on the back of his business card.

Do they not to send a section 68 or section 150 letter to confirm costs?

And how would they quote if costs increase at a later stage, e.g. something to be done with the documents I asked about.

It's "strange" that he uses a business card to quote costs, or?

Its strange you would get any sort of service from a solicitor for €100. Are you sure there wasnt a zero missing.

Are you sure it was a solicitor? No solicitor would do anything for €100!

Got a will done for less. But lets face it that's good business even if one in ten people go back to the same solicitor for other work.

Yes, it was a solicitor.

They are not obliged to send a s.168 letter when quoting or estimating — only when engaged. So if you accept the quote and instruct the solicitor, you should get a s.168 letter.
