Compliance Overview
The compliance section explains what we record when a will is made and who the contracts around it are with. This guide shows what is there and which page answers your question.
How the Section Is Arranged
Everything in the compliance section rests on one shared evidence baseline. What changes between the audience pages is the contracts and the controls layered on top of it, not the evidence captured underneath. Reading the baseline first makes the audience pages much shorter.
Compliance pages are not legal advice
These pages describe what our platform records and how it behaves. They do not tell you whether a will is valid, what a court will accept, or what your jurisdiction requires of you. For that, speak to a qualified professional.
The Shared Evidence Baseline
Four things are captured for every will, whoever you are and whichever plan you are on.
- Identity verification at signing: a government-issued identity document is read by machine and cross-checked against the details on your profile. It is processed on our own servers by default, and your data never leaves our servers without your approval
- A human-reviewed identity video: you are given action prompts to follow, and the recording is reviewed by a person rather than scored by a machine. The attestation is logged with the device timestamp and the originating IP address
- A detailed audit trail: reads, edits and signature events are recorded as append-only signed entries. The latest version is the one shown, and earlier versions remain on file
- Jurisdiction-aware execution rules: witnessing requirements, whether handwritten wills are accepted, capacity tests and revocation rules differ by jurisdiction, and the evidence pack records which jurisdiction the will was generated against
Three Views, One Baseline
The compliance hub offers three audience pages. Pick the one that matches how you use the platform rather than reading all three.
For Individuals and Families
Covers the evidence captured at the moment of signing: who you proved yourself to be, how the witnessing was recorded, and what the audit trail holds. This is the right page if you are making your own will.
For Legal and Financial Professionals
Covers per-matter audit, how capacity assessment fits in, the handling of third-party contacts, and the identity verification standards behind anti-money-laundering checks.
For Corporate Buyers
Covers estate planning funded by an employer: where the boundary between employer and employee sits, which layer the audit belongs to, the data processing agreement, and residency in a named region.
Two Topics With a Page of Their Own
AI-Generated Forgery Risks
Sets out four concrete risks: deepfake identity video, voice-cloned instructions, handwritten wills fabricated by generative models, and synthetic identity documents. It then maps each one to the defence we rely on, and lists what we refuse to do, including accepting a will executed by voice alone.
Global Jurisdictions
Explains how common-law, civil-law and handwritten-will traditions differ, and which international rules can decide whose law applies when someone has moved country. It is the page to read before assuming a will made in one country behaves the same way in another.
No statistics are quoted
The compliance pages deliberately avoid figures on fraud rates and detection accuracy. Reliable numbers change quickly and a stale one reads as a promise, so the pages describe what we do instead.
