From planning a funeral to doing your taxes – most of our life admin can be completed online. But did you know that you can write your Will online in under 20 minutes?
Writing your Will online is a cost-effective and time-efficient way to organise your estate and plan for the future. Traditionally writing a Will has involved an expensive trip to the lawyers or a paper form from the Post Office, but through online platforms such as Willed, a new digital option is available.
How can I create a Will online?
Before you start, make sure you are eligible to write a Will.
To write a Will in Australia, you must be over the age of 18 and considered ‘mentally sound’ and not under the influence or coercion of others when writing the document.
Make a list of your assets and your beneficiaries
When writing your Will, it is important to think about your assets and how they should be distributed to your beneficiaries. This could be a specific amount or asset, or total percentage of your estate- the choice is yours!
Appoint an Executor
An Executor is a person chosen by you, to manage your estate after your death. This involves administrative tasks such as applying for probate, as well as ensuring that your final wishes are carried out accordingly.
