A gentle introduction to SafeWill for those completing their circle of care
When you finish filling out your Final Wishes Manual, there’s often a moment of quiet satisfaction. You’ve documented your favourite memories, planned your celebration of life, and given your family the precious gift of knowing exactly how you want to be remembered.
But then comes the question many of my clients ask: “Joy, I’ve organised everything for my farewell – but what about my will?”
It’s a fair question. After all, you’ve just spent time ensuring your family knows your heart. Now it’s time to protect what you’ve built throughout your lifetime.
The Reality Many Face
Here’s what I hear time and again: “I know I need a will, but it feels so complicated and expensive.” Sound familiar?
Maybe you’ve been putting it off because:
- Traditional lawyers feel intimidating or costly
- You’re not sure where to start
- Life keeps getting in the way
- You think your situation is too simple (or too complex)
The truth is, after losing my sister Kelly, I learned that having clear instructions isn’t just about the big things – it’s about sparing your family from uncertainty during their most difficult time.
A Solution That Makes Sense
That’s exactly why I’m excited to introduce you to SafeWill – New Zealand’s highest-rated online will-writing platform.
Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: “Online? For something this important?” I had the same hesitation. But here’s what convinced me this is perfect for families like yours:
It’s built by lawyers, not computers. Every will is professionally reviewed to ensure it’s legally sound.
It’s designed for real people. You can complete it from home in about 20 minutes – no complicated legal jargon to decode.
It grows with you. Life changes? You can update your will as many times as needed, completely free.
Your privacy is protected. They use military-grade security to keep your information safe.
How It Works (It’s Easier Than You Think)
The process is surprisingly straightforward:
- Answer simple questions – SafeWill guides you through everything step by step
- Review and submit – Legal professionals check your work
- Print and sign – They email you the finished will with clear instructions
- Rest easy – Your loved ones are protected
What I love most is that you can start the process on your computer, save it, and come back to it later. No pressure, no rush.
Real Stories from Real People
Frances from Wellington said: “Very user-friendly, with plenty of information given to enable informed decisions. The fact that your finished will is reviewed by professionals gives validation.”
Sharon from Auckland shared: “I was completely unsure about completing such an important document online. This has been one of the easiest experiences I have ever encountered with legal documentation.”
And Craig noted: “Great to see a company promoting affordable wills for the average person. It has to be done to save loved ones heartache after you pass away.”
Completing Your Circle of Care
You’ve already taken the beautiful step of documenting your final wishes. You’ve shared your story, your values, and your hopes for how you’ll be remembered.
Now, with a proper will in place, you truly complete your circle of care. Your family will have both your heart (through your Final Wishes Manual) and legal protection (through your will).
Think of it this way: your Final Wishes Manual tells your family who you were and how you want to be celebrated. Your will tells them who gets what and makes sure your wishes are legally protected.
Together, they give your family everything they need.
What This Means for Your Family
When both documents are in place, your loved ones can focus on what matters most – celebrating your life and supporting each other through their grief. They won’t be left wondering about your wishes or dealing with legal complications.
That’s the gift of preparation. That’s the final way you can take care of them.
