Want to create a will? You can create it online as well - Here’s how

Creating a will online: If you are planning to create a will, many online platforms offer easy-to-use tools and resources, allowing you to draft and finalise a will without leaving your home. Here's how to make an online will.
1. Choose a reputable platform
Begin by choosing a reliable online service. Look for a platform that has a simple interface, comprehensive templates, and secure storage for your documents.
2.Register with the platform
To register, enter your personal information like your full name, date of birth, address, and contact details. Then create a secure username and password to access the online service.
3. List your assets
Next, make a list of all your assets. Include property, investments, bank accounts, insurance policies, and any valuable items you own.
4. Name your beneficiaries
Decide who will inherit your assets by choosing your beneficiaries. You can assign specific items to each beneficiary and select backup beneficiaries in case your first choices can't inherit. Then, choose an executor, the person who will carry out your will.

5. Draft your will
Use one of the customizable templates available on the platform. Follow the instructions to fill in the details, specifying how you want your assets distributed and including any special conditions or terms.
6. Review and finalise
You can review the drafted will to ensure it's accurate and make changes if needed. If you have complicated issues, it's best to get legal advice. Once you're satisfied, you can legally execute the will according to the platform's rules, usually by electronically signing it with witnesses. The completed will is then stored securely online, with encryption for added security.
