In this video, Kevin Finn, Willed’s Head of Legal, explains why the price of a Will has nothing to do with its legal validity. A $50 online Will and a $500 solicitor-drafted Will must meet exactly the same legal requirements: a valid document, testamentary capacity, and proper witnessing. As Kevin notes in the video above, most invalid Wills fail because of human error, not because they were made online. Wondering whether an online Will suits your situation? Watch our answer on whether online Wills are right for most Australians.
