What is an online Will?
An online Will is a legally valid Will you create yourself using a guided online platform, instead of visiting a lawyer or filling in a paper kit. You answer plain-English questions about your family, assets and wishes, and the platform builds your Will using wording that meets Australian legal requirements. When it's ready you print it and sign it in front of witnesses. An online Will is legally identical to one a solicitor drafts — it just costs less and takes minutes, not weeks. It suits most straightforward and moderately complex estates; very complex situations (business structures, disputes, tax planning) may still need a solicitor — see online Will vs lawyer.
How to make a Will online in Australia
To make a Will online in Australia you choose your state, answer guided questions, review your Will, have it checked for errors, then print and sign it in front of witnesses. With Will Hero the steps are:
- Choose your state — for templates and witnessing rules that match where you live.
- Answer guided questions — about your people, assets and wishes, in plain English.
- See it build visually — review your decisions in real time before finalising.
- Specialist review — every Will is checked for potential errors before you print.
- Print and sign — download instantly or have a printed signing kit mailed to you.
Are online Wills legal in Australia?
Yes — an online Will is legal in every Australian state and territory, as long as it's in writing, signed by you, and witnessed correctly for your state. The law doesn't care whether your Will was made on a platform, written by a lawyer, or handwritten — it must meet the same core requirements: you're 18 or over and of sound mind, the Will is in writing, and you sign it in the presence of two witnesses (who can witness varies by state). Will Hero builds your Will to your state's rules and gives you clear signing instructions. Learn more: is an online Will legal in Australia?
How much does an online Will cost?
A Will Hero online Will is a flat $99 for an individual — no subscription, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. That includes specialist review, free registered-post delivery with a signing kit, and 12 months of updates. For comparison, a solicitor-drafted Will usually costs a few hundred dollars; a paper will kit is cheaper but gives no guidance or review; and public trustees prepare Wills cheaply or free but usually only by appointment (only State Trustees Victoria offers a genuine self-serve online Will). See full pricing.
Online Will vs will kit, lawyer or public trustee
An online Will is the middle ground: cheaper and faster than a lawyer, but with the guidance and error-checking a paper kit doesn't give you. Which option is right depends on your estate and budget — we compare them in detail here: online Will vs lawyer, public trustee & State Trustees Wills vs Will Hero, and online Wills vs will kits.
What you can include in your online Will
With Will Hero you can appoint executors and backups, name guardians for children and pets, leave specific and charitable gifts, divide your residuary estate, and add conditional or backup provisions. Tools like the Visual Will, scenario testing and Review My Will help you see and check your choices before you sign.
