Important information about creating your will with Orchard72
Last reviewed
Legal Notice
Orchard72 provides will drafting assistance only. Our platform helps you create legally-formatted documents, and every document we generate must be reviewed by an independent legal professional before you can download, share or finalise it. You choose that professional yourself from our marketplace.
What Our Service Provides
AI-Powered Tools for Will Generation
Our AI technology helps you convert your wishes into a properly structured will document. The AI:
- Assembles the answers you give across the guided steps into a complete draft
- Identifies missing essential details
- Formats your will using a conventional will structure
- Ensures consistency throughout the document
Document Storage & Security
Your will is stored securely, with the document text and the personal details in it encrypted in transit and at rest. You can access and update your will at any time. Downloading it becomes available once you have completed all the details and an independent legal professional has concluded their review. Each time a draft is generated it is kept as a new version, and your will page shows how many versions exist.
Legal Disclaimers
Not Legal Advice
Orchard72 is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Our service helps you create a will document, but we cannot advise you on the legal implications of your choices or ensure your will meets all legal requirements in your specific jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements
Will requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction. While we strive to accommodate common requirements, some jurisdictions may have specific rules about:
- Witness requirements and qualifications
- Notarisation or authentication needs
- Handwritten vs. typed wills
- Specific language or formatting requirements
Complex Estate Situations
Where an estate is more complex, an estate planning solicitor can advise on the options. Complex situations may include:
- Significant assets or business interests
- International assets or beneficiaries
- Special needs beneficiaries
- Complicated family situations
- Tax planning considerations
