Should I Make a Will Online?

Yes, making a will online is a good option for most people, even those with moderate estates. Making a will online is a simple process, take IrishWills.ie for example. Once you have created an account with Irishwills you are then taken through an interview style process where questions are tailored to your specific circumstances. For example if you select that your are married or if you have children or if you wish to make funeral arrangements, the question process will differ for each user. This is the same process a solicitor would take you through if you were sitting in their office.

Once the interview process is complete, your document will then be generated and available for you to download. This can all happen in approximately 20 minutes for the majority of users.

What are the Benefits of Creating an Online Will?

The main benefits of creating a will online are firstly the cost savings, even with special rates offered by solicitors, online wills offer a much more cost efficient service than a solicitor. Not to mention that you can edit your document and download your will as often as required.

The second main benefit is the time saving made by making your will from the comfort of your home, and you can always update your will quickly and easily should your circumstances change.
