Creating a standard Will with Safewill is easy and convenient and can be done in less than 20 minutes.
Standard Wills are suitable for people who don’t have ‘complex’ needs and do not require direct legal advice. If your family and asset circumstances are straightforward – for example, if all your children are from your current relationship or if you do not have children – a standard Will is, generally, ideal.
Complex Wills are best suited to people who have blended family situations or hold complex assets, such as a self-managed super fund (SMSF), a business or family trusts. Often, creating a complex Will requires the direct advice and guidance of a lawyer to ensure your Will is accurate and valid.
Yes, Safewill can also provide you with the option to purchase a power of attorney.
