What is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that a person (also known as “Testator”) expresses their final wishes and final instructions in writing, on their asset(s) to be distributed on their passing. The Will will be administered by a nominated person (also known as “Executor”) to the beneficiaries named in the Will. In Singapore, a Will is governed by the Wills Act (Cap. 352).

Why do I need a Will?

A Will is a vital legal document that allows your loved ones and next of kin to manage your assets and possessions in a structured manner upon your passing. In Singapore, if a person has no Will at the time of passing, the distribution of assets will be distributed in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act (Cap. 146).

What is a Testator?

A Testator is a person who makes a Will. A Testator must be of the legal age of 21 years old and above at the age of creation of the Will.

What is an Executor?

The Executor is the person nominated by the Testator to administer the final wishes of the Testator in accordance with the Testator’s Will. An Executor is also known as ‘The Trustee’, can also be a beneficiary under a Will and a Testator can appoint more than one Executor in his Will. Where there is more than one Executor, they must act jointly (together). Please note that the NextLifeBook Will Generator does not allow for the appointment of joint Executors.

Our Will Generator allows a Testator to appoint an alternate Executor. If the Executor is for any reason is unable to execute the terms of the Will (e.g. where the Executor has passed away), the alternative Executor will take over duties of the Executor. An Executor must be over the legal age of 21, not be declared bankrupt and must be of sound mind in order to carry out his/her duties under the Will.

Some of the Executor’s duties would include:

  • Applying for Grant of Probate for the deceased
  • Making funeral arrangements for the deceased
  • Settling the lawful just debts owed by the deceased
  • Taking possession of and distributing the assets of the deceased in accordance with the Will

  • In the circumstances that an Executor refuses or is unable to perform their duties, the Testator’s family should seek legal advice on how to proceed.

    Who is the Beneficiary?

    The Beneficiary is the person who will inherit the distributed asset(s) made out in his/her name under the Testator’s Will.

    In the event that the Beneficiary is a minor (under the legal age of 21), the asset(s) will be held by a trustee appointed within the Will (or if none, to be appointed by the Executor) and these asset(s) shall be distributed when the minor reaches 21 years of age and above.

    Why do I need 2 witnesses for my Will?

    A will typically must be properly witnessed to be valid. Unlike other legal documents, a will generally isn't valid unless two adult witnesses (depending on the country) watch the will-maker sign it. The witnesses must know that the document is intended to be that person's will, and they must also sign the document themselves.

    The Witnesses do not have to be a professional person, and cannot be a beneficiary to the Will. It is recommended to have somebody trustworthy and of good character to be your witness.

    Who can make a Will?

    It varies across countries. For Singapore, any residents or individuals who have an asset in Singapore of the legal age of 21 and above can use NextLifeBook to generate a Will.

    Is NextLifeBook’s Will recognized in another country?

    The generated Simple Will covers Singapore residents, and foreigners who only have assets located in Singapore. If in doubt, you should always seek legal advice.
