Wills
Every Victorian over 18 should have a legally valid will. It tells people what you want to happen to your belongings after you die. The clearer your instructions, the better it is for those you leave behind.
Without a will, you die intestate. This means state laws decide how your property and belongings are distributed and you don’t get a say. You also won’t be able to control who makes your final decisions. Costs can be higher and the time taken longer (typically 12 months or more).
While a will is a great way to let you express how your assets are distributed, it’s also a way to let your executor know how you wish to be remembered. This might be done through funeral instructions, or outlining who will look after your children and/or pets. Wills are also a great way to leave specific gifts, which can be anything important to you. From a secret scone recipe to your cricket ball signed by Shane Warne.
You can store your will at The Victorian Will and Powers of Attorney Registry which is free for Victorian residents. It’s safe and secure and trusted by over 80,000 people across the state. For details, go here.
Yes. Every State Trustees Will is legally valid for use in Australia if filled out correctly online or with your Will Writer.
Beneficiary: a person who is given a gift or other benefit under a will.
Executor: a person or organisation appointed by a testator in a will to carry out the provisions of the will.
Estate: all property and possessions owned by a person, whether solely or with one or more other persons.
Guardian: a person who has primary responsibility for the general welfare of a minor, even if the person does not have day-to-day custody and control of that child.
Gift/bequest: something that is given to a beneficiary under a will. For example, a will may include gifts of money, real estate or personal effects (such as jewellery).
Minor beneficiaries: any beneficiaries written into the will who may be under 18 at the time of your death.
Residuary estate: what is left of a deceased person’s property and possessions after funeral and administration expenses, debts and other liabilities have been paid and specific gifts have been distributed.

The Online Will is a secure and user-friendly platform, perfect for anyone over 18 and residing in Australia, with straightforward circumstances. If you need assistance with more complex circumstances, it’s best to arrange a Will appointment. Complex circumstances might include provisions for special needs/disabilities bequests, trusts, complex investments or property, or leaving someone out of a Will that could contest it later.
Unfortunately, no. By law, each person needs their own individual Will document. That means you need to sign your own will individually (not jointly) and use your own email address. You also cannot register a second Online Will from the same email address.
You have 90 days to complete the Online Will. To ensure the security of your account and details, edits to your Online Will are only permitted prior to you clicking the “finalise my will” button. To make edits after finalising, you will and need to purchase a new one.
These can be updated by clicking My Account under Account Profile. From here update your information and the changes should apply immediately if you have not started any section of the online will. If your online will is in progress, go to Personal Details and click Save & Next to cement the update. Your updated name/DOB will reflect when previewing your online will.
