It starts with 3 simple steps
Creating a will doesn't have to be complicated. At its core, the process involves just three main decisions:
Name your beneficiaries
Decide who will inherit your assets – these can be people you love, organisations you support, or anyone you choose. You can leave specific gifts or divide your estate by percentage.
Select an executor
Choose someone you trust to carry out your will. This person will manage your estate, settle any debts, and ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Learn more about choosing an executor.
Distribute your assets
Decide how your estate should be divided – either through specific gifts (a particular item or sum to a particular person) or by allocating percentages of the remaining estate among your beneficiaries.
Got children or pets?
If you have children or pets, there's an important fourth step: assigning guardians. This lets you choose who will care for your children or pets if you're no longer around, rather than leaving that decision to the courts.
What happens next?
MakeGoodwill guides you through each of these steps systematically with a simple online questionnaire. Once completed:
- Print your will
- Sign it in front of two independent witnesses
- Store it securely – your digital copy is always available in your account
The entire process takes about an hour and can be done in multiple sessions from anywhere.
