To purchase a birth certificate costs around $55 Dusty , but I think you may need the parent's consent. Not sure about the consent. I phoned the bank yesterday to get 100% correct facts on setting up bank accounts for the children ( I’ve got a direct phone number for the local without having to go through the rigmarole ..of 13000 numbers ) I spoke to the senior lady there and she put me in the right track …. She said I couldn’t get BC without the parents permission ….and I’d never do so without their permission… .. you can’t get an extract it has to a full B.C . Extra cost …. ( like you mentioned ) Bank said it has to be a drivers licence or B C Even if I offered to pay for them ….i haven’t ..and I wouldn’t ….they are no good to me anyway because it would involve my son traveling up to where I live , because a parent has to be present when setting up a bank account for a child ( I can fully understand that ) Trying to find a bank branch I deal with in Adelaide is like trying to find hens teeth Bank advised me to set up a trust account for them in my name …with their names as the beneficiaries .. ( far easier ) so that’s what I’ll do after I speak to my son again joybelle Standard BC for NSW ..$67.00 omg they want to get rich quick … View Attachment

Think I’m better off just opening another account in my name and mentioning in my will that account amount is to be split up between the 3 kids OMG sifting through all that red tape would send me gray headed Thanks joybelle

I think that is the way to go as well Dusty. Setting up a family trust is a legal document and you have to pay stamp duty plus yearly tax. Not for the likes of us I don't think.

Got sidetracked this morning and didn't get the games finished. After a nice nap and watching our local college win their football game, came back and got caught up.

Sorry!! Blew it for today. Up late last night for the presidential debate. Early this morning was spent catching up on how the media was playing the debate. Golf. Lunch. Then, the wife had two appointments downtown that she wanted me to accompany her on. It's nap time!
Will be back tomorrow!!!

Usually do the Forum Games about 5 a.m. Tonight, just got to sleep and rec'd a disruptive text that upset me. Nothing serious, just people being unthoughtful. So, couldn't go back to sleep, did Forum Games and not it's 11:30 p.m. I never stay up this late and need to be up by 5 a.m. Goodnight, everybody!!!
