Online Will Writing Questionnaire
  • How to complete the questionnaire

    You are about to answer some basic questions relating to yourself, your family, and your intentions. If you need to provide us with further information, please enter this information in the "Additional Information" at the end of this form. When you are finished simply click "submit". 

    If a married couple is completing this form, each spouse will need to complete a separate form, unless the information is the same for husband and wife, and the intent is for all assets to be left first to the survivng spouse. In that situation, you can check the "mirror" box immediately below, and only one questionnaire is needed.

      An executor is the person or organisation responsible for ensuring that the instructions contained in your Will are carried out when you die. They are required to identify the size of your estate and understand if you have any debts.
    • It is advised that you choose at least two executors who you feel you can trust and who can cooperate. Your executors will be responsible for registering your death, arranging your funeral and expenses, dealing with any debts to your estate and distributing your assets according to your Will. It is very much essential that your intended executors are willing to act. Please be advised that executors much older than yourself are not ideal candidates to be your executors and pose a practical risk. Therefore please ensure that your executors are of a similar age or are within a reasonable age to yourself.
