We’ll look at some things to think about if you’re wanting to make your will online. We can help!
You can seemingly do everything online these days. You can do all your banking with a few taps of your phone. Today, we will look at the process of creating an online will, what it needs to include, and whom to trust.
The answer is yes! At Bequest, we have a straightforward and intuitive platform to help you do just that.
You’ll see many companies say they can write wills online, but what does that mean? The process can include answering some predetermined questions to formulate a will and send it to you. Often this process is fully automated, and you’ll never actually speak to any legal advisor.
While you may find that this type of online will can save you time, at Bequest, we want to make sure that it’s so much more than that. We want it to be a personal experience, based on your specific needs, at this particular time in your life. Our partners, JPEP, check every will, and if there are any changes to be made, you will receive a call.
If you don’t need expert help, you can use templates with a reasonably standardised structure. However there are some important things you need to do to ensure the will is legal.
There are a few reasons why you might want to speak to a reputable solicitor or will writer (or us!). Make sure you do your homework, find their ratings, and trust those you pick.
