Writing your Will online

You can create or update your Will through a range of legally valid options, including an estate planning professional, the Public or State Trustee in your State, or a self-guided online Will-writing platform. 

Online Will-writing platforms are designed to make writing your Will as easy as possible, through a secure step-by-step process. Whilst it’s not a requirement when writing your online Will, leaving a gift to The Fred Hollows Foundation is a lasting and meaningful way that you can not only future-proof our important work, but leave a legacy for the generations to come. Leaving even a small share of your estate, after your loved ones have been taken care of, can have a huge impact. 

For complex estate planning, we recommend seeking professional legal advice when creating or updating your Will. Although we are not able to make specific recommendations, you can find a list of solicitors here. 

Frequently asked questions about online Wills

Yes. Online Wills share the same requirements for validity as a paper-based DIY Will, or a lawyer drafted Will. Provided that you meet the usual requirements for creating a Will (namely, you have testamentary capacity and are of sound mind, are over the age of 18, make the Will voluntarily, and follow the required signing and witnessing formalities), a Will made online will be legally valid and binding. Once you finish the process, you’ll need to print and sign your Will in front of two independent witnesses, so that it’s correctly executed. 

Wills cannot be validly signed or witnessed using electronic signatures because the Probate Office of each Supreme Court requires an original (‘wet-ink’) of the Will before approving a Grant of Probate. You’ll need to print and sign your Will in front of two independent witnesses, so that it’s correctly executed. 

It’s important to regularly update your Will every 3 - 5 years, or any time you experience a significant change in your life like getting married or divorced, the birth of a child or addition of a new family member or a change in your assets. Most online Will providers offer easy updates -  please see each platforms website for details.
