What you need before you start

Gathering a few details first makes the form much quicker. Please have the following ready:

  • Your particulars, including your NRIC or FIN, your address and your contact details.
  • Your executor, and a substitute executor if you want one.
  • Your beneficiaries and their shares. Together the shares must add up to 100% or to one whole.
  • Details of any specific gift, such as a property address, an account number or a serial number.
  • Whether your will should cover worldwide assets or Singapore assets only.

You may also upload your NRIC, your passport or an earlier will. However, every upload is optional.

What happens after you submit

First, our lawyers review your Singapore Wills Online submission. We may ask you for clarification, and we may decline an application without giving reasons. Then we prepare your draft will.

Next, book your appointment on our booking site. Choose Wills Signing once your draft is ready, and allow at least three working days after you submit. If you would rather speak to us before you submit, book the 15-minute Consult โ€“ Wills slot instead. Please use the same name for your booking and your submission, so that we can match the two.

Finally, you sign at our office. Two witnesses must be present at the same time, because the Wills Act 1838 sets out strict formalities. Our lawyers witness the signing, so the will is executed correctly.

Who can use Singapore Wills Online

You must be at least 21 years old and of sound mind. We prepare non-Muslim wills only, because Muslim estates in Singapore follow the Administration of Muslim Law Act 1966 and the rules of faraid. Muslim clients should therefore seek specialised advice.

We also take extra care with senior testators. For seniors we usually speak to the testator by phone or video call before we accept instructions, and we may ask for a doctor’s certification of testamentary capacity. As a result, our fees are usually higher, because taking instructions takes longer.

Options you can add in the form

Several sections of the form are optional. For example, you may add a mirror will for your spouse, so your partner receives a similar will without filling in the form again. You may also ask us to lodge your will record with the Wills Registry of the Singapore Academy of Law. Finally, you may add a Lasting Power of Attorney. A will takes effect when you die, while an LPA takes effect if you lose mental capacity.

Singapore Wills Online: common questions

Does submitting the form engage the firm?

Not by itself. Every submission is subject to our review, and we confirm your engagement separately.

Can I finish the form later?

Yes. Click “Save and Continue Later” beside the Submit button, then enter your email address. We send you a link, so you can return to your saved answers.

Do I have to visit your office to sign?

Yes. Singapore law requires two witnesses to be present when you sign, so signing takes place at our office.

What if I own property overseas?

You may choose worldwide coverage or Singapore assets only. If you already have a will abroad for those assets, then excluding them here usually avoids a conflict.

How much does a will cost?

Our fees are fixed, and they depend on complexity. Use the Singapore wills quote for an instant estimate before you submit.
