FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PartingWishes.com Introduces New Online U.S. Legal Will Service
January 4, 2003 -- PartingWishes.com announces a
revolutionary new service, enabling consumers to create and update their Wills
over the Internet. Now, from the comfort and privacy of their own home, all that
a consumer needs is an Internet connection and about 30 minutes to create a
custom Will that is legal in their local jurisdiction.
Over 70% of Americans do not have a Will. One of the most
common reasons is the inconvenience and effort required to locate a lawyer and to
attend appointments. Busy lifestyles make it difficult for people to not only
draw up their Will, but almost impossible to maintain it. In addition, the costs
associated with creating even the simplest of Wills can be very high. The new
“MyWill” service addresses all of these issues and more,
satisfying a market need that can only be filled now, thanks to the power and
convenience of the Internet.
Users of the MyWill service are presented with a series of
comprehensive questions, written in plain language, the answers to which form
the basis of their Will. Clear, concise, online help is available at every step
of the way, so that consumers do not need to be legal experts to create their
own legal Will. Furthermore, by creating a Will using this service, the consumer
will actually understand what they are doing. They are not simply
presented with an incomprehensible final document purporting to represent their
final wishes.
The secure web site employs advanced security and encryption
techniques to protect the privacy of all sensitive information provided by their
members.
“The truth is, anyone can write their own legal Will,”
explains CEO Tim Hewson. “Our online Will creation service makes use of advanced technology and
the ultimate convenience of the Internet to allow consumers to create and update
their Will, online, from any web browser, at their own pace. We also guard
against the most common pitfalls inherent within store bought do-it-yourself
Will kits, such as ensuring that there are adequate contingencies should a
beneficiary pre-decease you.” At an introductory rate of only $35 U.S. for
creating a Will, including unlimited updates, the MyWill service can be up to
one-tenth of the fees charges by a lawyer for creating the same Will.
