About you

Your details as they should appear on your Will. Use your name and number exactly as printed on your NRIC or passport.

A few quick questions

Have you made a Will before?
Do you understand English?
Do you need the Will translated into another language?
Do you have a spouse or children? (incl. ex-spouses, step- or adopted children)

Your immediate family

List your spouse and children, if any, including ex-spouses, step-children and adopted children.

Family member 1
Family member 2

Executors & trustees

Your executor carries out the instructions in your Will. Executors must be 21 or older.

Executor 1

Distributing your estate

Choose the option that best fits how you'd like your estate shared.

Your properties

Property you own, and how it's legally held, can affect who receives it, sometimes regardless of what you've stated elsewhere in your Will.

Do you own any property?

Exclusions

If there's someone you'd like to intentionally leave out of your Will, and record why, you can note it here. This step is optional.

Naming an intentional exclusion is treated as an additional clause and incurs a further $50 per exclusion.
Exclusion 1

Guardianship of children

If you have children under 21, you can appoint someone to care for them.

Do you have children below 21?

Anything else?

Let us know about anything not covered above: extra wishes, special conditions, or questions for our team. We'll review this and let you know if it affects pricing.

Review your instructions

Check everything over before sending. You can jump back to any section to make changes.

Before you submit

We've compared your answers against common Singapore Will-writing pitfalls. These are suggestions to discuss with your Will Writer, not legal advice, and addressing some of them may involve an additional clause fee, which we'll confirm with you over a phone call or WhatsApp.

Checking your instructions…

Thank you. We've received your instructions.

Our team will review everything you've shared and reach out within 1–2 business days to confirm the details before your Will is drafted.

Next, record what you actually own.

Your Will names who receives your estate, but your executor still needs to know what's in it. Our List of Assets worksheet covers your property, CPF, insurance policies, and bank accounts, then downloads as your own PDF to keep or hand to your executor. It takes about 10 minutes, and can reuse the name, NRIC, and address you just gave us.
