⭐ The WillPatra Advantage

Tip: Be as specific as possible to prevent confusion for your loved ones later.
Now, connect the dots.
You will assign the beneficiaries from Step 3 to the assets listed in Step 4. Allocate percentages or fixed amounts, and assign your Level 1 and Level 2 backup beneficiaries to each specific asset.
The Residual Clause: WillPatra automatically includes a Residual Clause—a catch-all for any future wealth you acquire or assets you accidentally left out, dictating exactly who receives those unlisted items.
The person you trust to carry out your wishes.
An Executor is the person (or organization) you trust to carry out the instructions in your Will. They will manage the paperwork, settle matters, and distribute your estate.
Your Will is highly customizable to your specific life situation.

To make the document legally valid, you must add the details of two witnesses. Their information is stored securely on the platform.
⭐ The WillPatra Advantage
Before finalizing, you have the option to record a Video Declaration directly from your webcam or phone. This visual proof drastically reduces the chance of your Will being contested in court.
You're almost done!
Choose to receive your drafted Will via email or phone. Download the PDF and review it carefully.
Make it Legal: Print it out and sign it in the physical presence of your two witnesses. You can also choose to notarize or register it with local authorities for maximum protection.
Upload it back to WillPatra: Return to your dashboard and upload the scanned, signed copy for safekeeping. You can also note exactly where the physical hard copy is stored.
A Will is useless if no one knows it exists.
As your final step, use WillPatra to automatically notify your Executors and Beneficiaries via Email or SMS.
They will receive an alert that the Will has been executed, giving them peace of mind without revealing the private contents of the document until the time is right.
