Your retainer with eQUILL is limited to document creation: preparing a will from the answers you provide, reviewing the draft for accuracy against those answers, and delivering it to you with general signing instructions. The retainer expressly does not include: (a) supervision or witnessing of execution; (b) any assessment of, or satisfaction as to, testamentary capacity, knowledge and approval, or freedom from undue influence; (c) taxation advice; or (d) legal advice of any kind.
You are responsible for satisfying yourself about assets that may pass outside your will, including jointly owned real property, joint bank accounts and superannuation. Where your circumstances involve trusts or company structures, or you wish to establish a testamentary trust, you should consult a legal practitioner — such structures require tailored advice beyond this service. If your will may be open to challenge — for example, where capacity may be questioned, where the will departs from an orthodox structure, or where it excludes a person who would ordinarily be provided for (such as a spouse or child) — you should obtain legal advice before signing.
eQUILL is operated by Quillo Australia Pty. Ltd. (ABN 39 701 325 475). eQUILL is an online document preparation service. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. eQUILL assembles a will from the answers you give, using standard-form clauses suitable for simple estates. Nothing on eQUILL — including explanations of legal concepts — is legal advice about your circumstances. If your circumstances are complex (including blended families, trusts or companies, self-managed superannuation, overseas assets, an intention to exclude a dependant, or significant tax considerations), obtain advice from a solicitor before signing.
You must be 18 or over, have testamentary capacity, and answer truthfully. The document produced reflects your answers; you are responsible for reviewing it before signing. Your will has no legal effect until printed and executed in accordance with the law of your State or Territory — in general, signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses present at the same time, who each sign in your presence. Instructions are included with your document, but correct execution is your responsibility.
One will per licence. The $139 licence is personal to the account holder and covers the preparation of one will — the account holder's own. It does not permit the preparation of a will for any other person; each will-maker requires their own licence. Licences are non-transferable.
The price is $139 (incl. GST), paid once. Following review by our team, the will is emailed to the account holder, and the document is then yours; there is no subscription, renewal or further charge. Answers are the account holder's responsibility — the will is prepared exactly as instructed. A new will at any later time is a new purchase. [Refund position to be settled.] Nothing in these terms excludes the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
If you ask us to arrange for a solicitor to contact you (for example about a testamentary trust or severing a joint tenancy), we will pass your name and contact details to Shad Partners Solicitors & Conveyancers. Disclosure: [state the relationship between Quillo Australia Pty. Ltd. and Shad Partners Solicitors & Conveyancers, and any referral arrangement]. You are free to instruct any solicitor of your choice; any engagement, advice and fees are solely between you and the solicitor, quoted separately.
To the extent permitted by law (and without excluding ACL consumer guarantees), our liability is limited to re-supplying the service or refunding the amount you paid. [Carve-outs and PI position to be settled.]
Our Privacy Policy forms part of these terms. We may amend these terms on notice. Governing law: New South Wales.
