When your life changes - your Will should too

Avoid the risks of an outdated Will

Is your Will outdated and doesn’t protect the people you care about most? An outdated Will can leave your precious assets unprotected.

If your life circumstances change, your Will should too. Marriage, losing a partner, re-partnering, becoming single, having children, taking on the responsibility of stepchildren, or buying a property are just some of the reasons why making a Will matters.

Easy to update

Updating your Australian Will online is affordable and easy.

When you create your digital Will with Safewill, you benefit from an optional – and free – one-year Safewill subscription. It means you can log in and update your Will as many times as you like during this time. After this, it’s just $15/year to access unlimited updates to your Will, indefinitely.
