SimplyWill™ — In Action

Manual Will Drafting — Hours Per Matter
Copy-paste from a template, fill in client details by hand, adjust clauses, re-check pagination, generate the signature page. Then do it again in Afrikaans. Every single Will.

POPIA Exposure — Testator Data Everywhere
Client ID numbers, asset schedules, beneficiary details — in Word files on shared drives, attached to emails, printed and filed. Every one is a data breach waiting to happen.

No Single Source of Truth
Where is the original? Is it signed? Did the client return the amended version? Estate dossiers scattered across folders, post-its, and memory — until something goes wrong.
Every firm has a missing-original story

SimplyWill™ solves all three — out of the box.

Four clips. Under 90 seconds each. Watch in order.

Four things you need to see.

Each clip is a focused look at one core workflow. No marketing. No slide decks. Just the software running live.

Clip 01 — Will Drafting Wizard
Clip 01 / 03

Clip 02 — Email Filing & Confirmation
Clip 02 / 03

Filing. Confirmation from your firm.

When your firm files a will in its own safe custody, SimplyWill™ logs it and sends the client a confirmation — on your letterhead, through your Outlook. The email is from your firm. No manual action required.

  • Confirmation sent via your Outlook — the client sees your firm's address, your letterhead
  • Bilingual email templates — ENG & AFR — customisable per firm
  • Printable PDF receipt generated and attached automatically
  • Amendment and revision emails triggered the same way
Clip 03 — Will Preview & Output

  • Original Will location tracked in your firm's physical custody log
  • Signed / unsigned / outstanding status visible at a glance
  • All amendments linked chronologically to the master Will
  • Drag Outlook emails directly into the matter — no copy-pasting
  • Attach documents, add practice notes, generate the estate intake form

Built for South African law.
Not adapted — built.

✓ Compliant

POPIA Data Protection

All testator data is stored locally on your firm's own infrastructure. No client data leaves your network. No cloud sync. No third-party data processors with access to sensitive estate information.

✓ Compliant

Wills Act 7 of 1953

Signature and initial requirements under Section 2(1)(b) are handled automatically. Every Will output meets the formal validity requirements — pagination, signature lines, and witness blocks included.

✓ Built-in

Kidwell Principle — Clause Placement

The Kidwell principle governs the placement and sequencing of testamentary clauses under South African law. SimplyWill™ applies this automatically — no attorney needs to manually structure clause order.

✓ Ready

Bilingual — English & Afrikaans

Both official languages of South African estate practice are supported natively. Output can be generated in either language without any additional setup, training, or translation workflow.

Designed with South African legal professionals.

SimplyWill™ was built in close consultation with practising Wills attorneys. Every clause, every output format, and every compliance check reflects the realities of the South African Wills department — not a generic legal template adapted for the local market.
