Australian-based Web site Legalwills.com.au provides a do-it-yourself Will kit for just $35 that gives step-by-step instructions for writing your own will.
"Everyone over the age of 18 should have a will, but most people in the 18-35 year old age bracket don't have one," said Legal Wills Marketing Manager Tim O'Brien. "About thirty percent of people die without ever having made a will."
The Lifetime Will Kit is a self-contained document that explains how to prepare a Will, and also helps customers understand the perplexing legal jargon used.
It is a low cost solution for people to create their own Will, "giving customers the power to do it themselves by understanding the process of making a Will," said O'Brien.
The customer's place an order through the Web site to receive the downloadable Lifetime Will Kit, which provides sample wills and blank Will forms.
The will kit has standard circumstances that most people fit in to like married without likelihood of having children. "The legal costs are usually unnecessary in many circumstances," said O'Brien.
At the moment Legalwills.com.au cannot provide the whole service online, but hopes to do so with a suitably secure system in future.
McMahon Fearnley Barristers & Solicitors -- a law firm that endorsers the authenticity of the will kit -- offers storage at their premises at no extra charge once the Will is complete.
For do-it-yourself ease, individuals sign the will in front of required witnesses and store the document for beneficiaries.
