Introducing the Visual Will
Creating a Will shouldn't feel like deciphering legal code. Traditional will creation is confusing, intimidating, and full of complex legal language that makes it nearly impossible to understand what you're actually signing. Most people end up with a document they can't fully comprehend, leading to uncertainty about whether their wishes will be carried out correctly — and leaving their loved ones to interpret unclear instructions during an already difficult time. Will Hero's Visual Will transforms this overwhelming process into clear, interactive diagrams that make estate planning simple, transparent, and stress-free.
What is a Visual Will?
A Visual Will is an interactive diagram that shows how your written Will works — who inherits what, who's responsible for carrying out your wishes, and how your estate flows under different outcomes.
It's not a legal document itself, but a visual instrument directly linked to your legally binding Will. Every change you make visually is automatically reflected in your legal document, so the two are always in sync.

Visual Will Homepage
The Visual Will Homepage gives you a complete map of your estate. Each section — Executors, Guardians, Gifts, Residual Estate, and more — appears as a clickable box.
Visualise Your Backups
It's smart to have backups in case someone you've named as Executor, Guardian, or Pet Guardian can't serve. The Visual Will clearly shows your primary and backup choices — even backups to your backups — so you can see how every role is covered.
Visualise the Flow of Your Estate
Your Will should continue working even when life changes. The Visual Will displays how your estate will be distributed under different outcomes — for example, if a beneficiary passes away before you. Every visual change instantly updates your legal Will. It's the easiest way to ensure your wishes are resilient and fully covered.
Scenario Testing
Life can be unpredictable. The Scenario Tester lets you simulate "what-if" events — such as a beneficiary passing away or a condition not being met — and instantly see how your estate adjusts. It's the perfect way to confirm that your Will is complete, logical, and ready for any circumstance.
Clarity Meets Confidence
When your Will makes sense visually, you can feel confident it truly reflects your wishes. No surprises. No confusion. Just peace of mind — knowing that every clause, backup, and condition behaves exactly as intended.
