Will Hero helps Australians create a legally valid Will without the confusion, legal jargon, or need to visit a lawyer for a typical estate.
Will Hero is best for Australians who want an easy, guided way to create a Will, especially if they want to understand how it works and plan beyond a basic template.
It’s especially suited to people who don’t just want to “fill out a form”, but want to understand how their Will works and feel confident before they sign it.
For most Australians, Will Hero is a strong fit if you want a simple process with more flexibility than a basic template, without needing a lawyer for a typical estate.
If your situation is typical to moderately complex and you want an easy, guided experience, Will Hero is often the right choice.
It works great on mobile or desktop, so you can complete your Will wherever it suits you.

Who Will Hero is best for
Will Hero is a great fit if you:
- Want a simple, step-by-step way to create your Will
- Have been putting it off because it feels complicated or overwhelming
- Want to clearly understand what happens to your estate
- Have family, children, or dependents and want to plan properly
- Want flexibility to handle more than just a bare-bones Will
- Prefer to do everything online, without needing appointments
- Want to feel confident your Will will work in real-life situations before signing
Not just for “simple Wills”
Many online will platforms are built only for very basic situations. Will Hero is different: you can create a Will that goes beyond the basics—without needing to upgrade to a lawyer or pay for consultations for a standard estate.
When situations become even slightly more complex, many platforms require upgrades, add-ons, or solicitor involvement. Will Hero is designed to handle many of these situations within the same guided online process—without needing upgrades or solicitor involvement for a standard estate.
That can include:
- Multiple or backup beneficiaries and clearer contingency planning
- More layered family situations than a one-line template allows
- Clearer instructions where you want specifics recorded
- Optional provisions via the Will Provisions Library—for example executor backups, beneficiary contingencies, conditional gifts, exclusions, pet guardianship, and trust-style hold directions—still inside the guided flow
- Thinking through “what happens if” scenarios before you finalise
—all within the same guided experience.
Who it may not be right for
Will Hero is not designed to replace a lawyer in every situation. You may want personalised legal advice if you:
- Require complex tax or asset structuring
- Have large or highly complex estates
- Need ongoing legal advice or representation
- Are dealing with disputed estates or litigation
Most people won’t fall into these categories—but if you do, it’s worth speaking to a professional.
Those cases are what solicitors are for. For a fuller comparison, read online Will vs lawyer.
For most Australians, however, Will Hero provides what you need to create a clear, legally valid Will when you print, sign, and witness correctly for your state.
Why people choose Will Hero
People choose Will Hero because it makes the process easy to complete and easy to understand. Instead of relying only on rigid templates or long legal documents, Will Hero helps you:
- Follow a guided process that walks you through each step
- See your decisions clearly, instead of guessing from legal wording alone
- Understand outcomes in different situations, not only the “happy path”
- Catch gaps or missing details before you finalise
- Make updates more easily as life changes (subject to re-signing rules)
Practical tools that support this:
- Visual Will helps you see your plan clearly before signing
- Scenario Testing lets you test “what if” outcomes before finalising
- Review My Will helps catch issues before you lock in decisions
- AI Assistant explains options in plain English while you draft
The goal isn’t only to create a Will—it’s to create one you actually understand and feel confident about.

Common questions
Who is Will Hero best for?
Australians who want a guided, easy path to a legally valid Will, want to understand their choices—not only fill a form—and value backup and “what if” planning. See how it works for the flow.
Is Will Hero only for very simple Wills?
No. It is meant to go beyond bare-bones templates for many people—e.g. multiple or backup beneficiaries and clearer contingencies—while staying online and guided. It is not a law firm; see who it may not be right for above.
When should I see a lawyer instead of using Will Hero?
When you need personalised legal advice or representation: e.g. complex tax or structures, very large or unusual estates, disputes, or ongoing solicitor work. For a fuller comparison, read online Will vs lawyer.
Can I do everything online?
Drafting and guidance are online. You still print, sign, and witness per your state or territory (same as other Wills). Overview: legal framework; steps: how to make a legally valid Will.
How does Will Hero compare to a basic online Will or DIY kit?
DIY kits and minimal online products often cap out quickly. Will Hero targets guided depth without assuming you want billable appointments for a typical estate. Individual Wills start from $99; Partner Will pricing is available on pricing.
In summary
If you want an easy way to create a Will online, but also want confidence that it reflects your real-life situation, Will Hero is built for you.
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to book appointments. And you don’t need to rely on a basic template if your situation involves more than the basics.
For many Australians, it offers the right balance between simplicity and flexibility—without needing to involve a lawyer for a typical estate.
