Safewill
Safewill is an online platform for creating Wills and other end-of-life planning documents, available on Android, iOS and the web. Users can begin a Will for free and pay when they submit it for review. Its question-based process was prepared by Australian lawyers and is intended to help users prepare a Will in about 20 minutes. Safewill’s legal team reviews submitted Wills and flags issues; the Essentials review is stated to take 10–15 business days. After review, the Will is emailed to the user to print and sign before two independent witnesses. Essentials Will costs A$160, paid once, including GST, and includes legal team review and one year of updates. Customised Will costs A$359, paid once, including GST, with bespoke drafting, personalised legal advice, priority review in 3–5 business days and a complimentary consultation through affiliate firm Safewill Legal. It also offers medical and financial Powers of Attorney for A$99, paid once. Unlimited updates after the included year are optional at $15 per year. Safewill says its online service suits most Will-writing needs, while complex estate matters may require its affiliate law firm or a lawyer’s advice.
