The Good Will

This guide explains why having a will is important for you and your family. A will is one way to show care for the people you leave behind by making your wishes clear and helping reduce uncertainty during a difficult time.

The guide takes you through four key steps: 

  1. understanding why a will matters
  2. considering what to include
  3. making sure it is legally valid
  4. keeping it updated and stored safely

Designed as an interactive fold-out letter, the format reflects the idea of a will as one of the final messages you leave for your family. It is a practical place to begin thinking about and preparing your will. 

For the best experience, print this guide double-sided on A3 paper and flip on the short edge, then fold along the marked lines.
