Why You Need a Will in Western Australia

Without a Will, the state decides who inherits your assets—and it might not be who you'd choose. Does your spouse automatically inherit everything in Western Australia? Creating your online Will in Western Australia ensures your wishes are followed and your family is protected. Will Hero makes it simple: complete your legally valid Will in just 15 minutes for $99.

Regional Western Australia Considerations

Western Australia's vast geography creates unique challenges:

  • Remote access: Many WA residents live hours from the nearest solicitor, making online Will creation ideal
  • Mining and FIFO workers: If you work in mining or are a FIFO worker, having a Will is crucial given the nature of your work
  • Property in remote areas: Rural properties may require special consideration in your Will
  • No video witnessing: Unlike some states, WA never allowed video witnessing, so physical presence is always required

Will Hero's online platform makes creating your Will accessible from anywhere in Western Australia, whether you're in Perth, Fremantle, Bunbury, Mandurah, or remote mining towns.

How to Complete Your Online Will in Western Australia

After you've created your Will online with Will Hero, you'll need to complete the final step to make it legally valid in Western Australia. Follow these steps to ensure your online Will is properly signed and witnessed according to Western Australian law:

1

Print Your Will

Download and print your Will on quality paper. A digital version alone is not legally valid in Western Australia—you must have a physical, signed copy.

2

Gather Two Independent Witnesses

You need two witnesses who are both at least 18 years old. Independent witnesses are recommended over beneficiaries. Learn more about Western Australian will witnessing requirements.

3

Sign Together at the Same Time

All three of you (you and both witnesses) must be present together at the same time. This is a critical requirement under Western Australian law.

4

You Sign First

Sign your Will in the presence of both witnesses. They must watch you sign to confirm it's your signature.

5

Witnesses Sign

Both witnesses must then sign the Will, confirming they were present when you signed and that you appeared to be of sound mind.

6

Store Your Will Safely

Keep the original signed Will in a secure location. Only the original signed copy is legally binding in Western Australia—digital versions are not valid. Learn more about storing your Will safely.

Common WA Signing Mistakes to Avoid

  • × Not having both witnesses present at the same time—they must both watch you sign simultaneously
  • × Using a beneficiary as a witness—while allowed in WA, this can complicate WA probate and may require additional evidence
  • × Forgetting to sign every page—all pages must be signed
  • × Not storing the original in a safe place—only the original signed copy is legally binding in Western Australia

Note: WA courts have a 'dispensing power' (s.32 Wills Act 1970) which may validate a document that wasn't signed correctly in exceptional circumstances, but this is discretionary, costly, and requires court proceedings—so proper witnessing is essential.
