Writing your Will online
Many people put off writing or updating their Will because it can feel complex or overwhelming. There are now options available that can help make the process more accessible, including writing your Will online.
Guide Dogs WA has partnered with Safewill, an Australian online Will-writing platform that allows you to prepare your Will easily and securely from home. Safewill offers supporters the opportunity to write their Will online for a discounted fee, depending on the offers available at the time.
Simply visit the Safewill website (link opens in a new window) to get started.
Please note that you are not required to leave a gift to Guide Dogs WA in order to use Safewill. The purpose of this option is simply to make writing or updating your Will more accessible, while raising awareness of the opportunity to include a gift if you wish.
