General information only. A will must be completed and signed correctly to be valid. Get legal advice for complex estates, blended families, trusts, overseas assets, business ownership, or relationship property concerns.

Why it matters

A clear will helps protect the people and causes you care about

It records who should manage your estate, who should receive your property, and what should happen with personal items, guardianship wishes, and family priorities.

Built for a simple first will

Start with the essential decisions most people need: executors, beneficiaries, gifts, guardianship wishes, and signing.

100% free

Create your will without subscriptions, hidden fees, or payment prompts.

Plain English

No jargon-heavy forms. The site focuses on the decisions most people need to make first.

NZ-focused

Information is written for New Zealand will-making and links to public legal resources.

Independent proof

Your will’s timeline is anchored where no one can rewrite it

Every important record gets a fingerprint, and each day’s fingerprints are sealed into the Bitcoin blockchain. Later, an executor or family member can check a printed will against that record to confirm it is genuine and unchanged.

A daily seal, kept forever

Each day the app reduces that day’s activity to one small number and stamps it into the Bitcoin blockchain — a public ledger no single party controls.

Stamped, then verified

Proofs are submitted automatically and re-checked nightly until they land in a Bitcoin block, when the block height and time are recorded for good.

Private by design

Only the aggregate daily number is ever stamped. Names, emails, will contents and document IDs never touch the blockchain.

Executors can verify the document in their hand Each generated will version includes a verification check. Anyone holding a printed will — an executor, family member or professional — can compare the document against the anchored record to confirm it is real, unchanged, and dated. Even someone with full access to the servers cannot fake the timeline. See how it works in the FAQ.
