Problem Statement
The Problem and Opportunity
Wills and estates are still slow, paper-heavy, and easy to get wrong. Originals go missing. Families wait. Australia’s population is ageing. There is a real need for a secure, current, and checkable digital file — without pretending a website is a court.
Solution
The WillCloud Solution
WillCloud is a digital product for creating, storing, reviewing, and signing Australian wills, with executor and solicitor workflows around that file. Signing can be recorded and hashed. Identity can be checked. That is a clearer chain of evidence than a dusty envelope — it is not a national court network.
Verified Transparency
Why a published record matters
Ordinary file stores can be copied and confused. A hash of the signed PDF, kept with the ceremony evidence, makes “is this the file they signed?” a concrete question. Privacy still depends on encryption and who you invite — not on putting the will’s text on a public chain.
Transparency for the right people
Authorised parties see verified actions without a public dump of private data.
Workflow automation
Invites, reminders, and access rules in the product.
Share, don’t pretend to own the rails
Documents go to solicitors, banks, and courts through the channels those bodies already use.
Trust
A clearer evidence pack around who signed what, and when.
Simplified Estate Management
Transforming the Future of Wills and Estates
Individuals get a current will they can actually find. Executors get a file. Firms get fewer missing pages. Courts still decide grants. That division of labour is the point.
Strategic Edge
A Lasting Competitive Advantage
Each signed instrument, each solicitor sitting, and each executor who actually finds the PDF makes the product more useful. The moat is a working Australian will file — identity, wording, signing, and handover — not a slogan about connecting every institution tomorrow.
