Will Generation Guidelines & Disclaimers

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

Your Responsibilities

Accuracy of Information

You are responsible for ensuring all information in your will is accurate and complete. This includes:

  • Correct names and identifying information for beneficiaries
  • Accurate asset descriptions and locations
  • Valid contact information for executors
  • Clear and unambiguous instructions

Regular Updates

Life changes may require updates to your will. Circumstances that often prompt a review include:

  • You get married, divorced, or enter a civil partnership
  • You have children or grandchildren
  • Your financial situation changes significantly
  • A beneficiary or executor passes away
  • You move to a different jurisdiction
