About Will Hero

What Is Will Hero

Will Hero is an online will writing service built for Australians who want a legally valid Will without paying a lawyer by the hour. Think of it as an AI will designer. The platform leans on a visual, interactive editor with AI assistance, so the process feels closer to filling out a guided form than drafting legal text from scratch. Templates are reviewed by a panel of Wills and Estates specialists, and the final document is tailored to the rules of your state or territory.

The pitch is speed and cost. You start building your Will for free, and you only pay when you're ready to print and sign. A single flat fee of $99 AUD (GST included) covers one Will, unlimited updates for 12 months, and free Power of Attorney documents. That's a big gap from the hourly rates a solicitor charges for a simple estate. This kind of digital will service skips the office visit entirely. No waiting rooms. No appointments.

The main limitation is geography. Will Hero is designed around Australian law, and the earlier US-facing version was accepted in every state except Louisiana. If you want to make a will online outside Australia, this isn't the tool for you yet. The output is also a draft you still have to sign correctly, so it's not a fully hands-off legal service.

Getting Started

  1. Create a free account on the Will Hero website and answer a few basic questions about your estate.
  2. Work through the visual editor to name beneficiaries, appoint guardians for minor children, and assign guardians for pets.
  3. Add Power of Attorney documents, which come free with your Will.
  4. Review the draft, then pay the one-time $99 AUD fee when you're ready to finalize.
  5. Download your Will or order the printed Signature Kit, then sign it using the step-by-step instructions provided.

Key features

AI-Assisted Visual Editor

Will Hero builds the Will through a guided, visual interface rather than a wall of legal clauses. AI assistance helps translate your plain answers into the right structure, which lowers the odds of missing a section you didn't know you needed. It's the feature that separates the service from a downloadable template. So why does that matter? Because most people don't know what a Will should contain.

State-Specific Online Will Australia Coverage

A Will that's valid in one state isn't automatically valid in another. Will Hero generates documents that follow the rules of your state or territory, and the earlier US product covered every state except Louisiana. That local tailoring is the core reason people pick a dedicated service over a generic template for online will Australia coverage.

Free to Start, Pay to Finish

You can draft the entire Will at no cost and only pay when you're ready to print and sign it. No card needed up front. The one-time fee is $99 AUD including GST, with no subscription. It makes testing the platform risk-free, since you're not spending anything until the document is done. Fair enough.

Free Power of Attorney Documents

Every plan now includes legally valid Power of Attorney documents, available in all states and territories, which let you appoint someone to handle your financial and legal affairs if illness or an accident leaves you unable to make decisions for yourself. Bundling them in avoids a second purchase elsewhere.

Download or Printed Delivery

When the Will is ready, you can download it or have it delivered. The Signature Kit prints the Will on premium archival paper rated to last up to 100 years, and includes a folder and pen for signing. First delivery is free, and shipping is confidential.

Unlimited Updates for 12 Months

Your circumstances change, and so should your Will. The flat fee includes unlimited updates for 12 months, so you can revise beneficiaries or guardians as life moves. After that period, you'd reassess whether to pay again. Simple enough.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Start free and pay a single $99 AUD fee only when you're ready to finalize.
  • Australian state-specific documents, so the Will matches local legal requirements.
  • Free Power of Attorney documents included with every Will.
  • Lawyer-approved templates reviewed by a panel of Wills and Estates specialists.
  • 30-day money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it.

Cons

  • Built for Australian law, so it's not useful for people living elsewhere. If you're outside Australia, you'll need a different service.
  • The output still needs to be printed and signed correctly to become valid, which is on you. Get the signing step wrong and the Will may not hold up.
  • No public API, so it can't be plugged into other apps or estate-planning workflows. Australia only.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if you follow the signing instructions. Will Hero produces a Will tailored to your state or territory and reviewed by Wills and Estates specialists, and it becomes legally valid once you print and sign it properly.
