INNOVATIVE WILL MANAGEMENT APP EXPANDS INTO NEW ZEALAND
Innovative will writing and management platform – Greatwill – is following up on its success across Australia, by launching into New Zealand.
The revolutionary Greatwill mobile app that empowers people to manage their legacy their way has been licensed to power Kōwhiri’s “Kinly” mobile will management app which specialises in the younger under 35 year old market.
Kōwhiri is New Zealand‘s leading online will writer and a company of Perpetual Guardian, leading trustee company. It is currently providing solutions that reach over 100,000 users.
A modern take on a traditional issue
Whilst no one likes to talk about death, there is no denying the many issues arisen from a will that is either not in existence, missing or has areas of confusion.
Andrew Barnes, Managing Director of Kōwhiri and founder of Perpetual Guardian, acknowledges how will management technology has become a more attractive way of leaving instructions for younger will-makers. “Kinly is very much targeted at the younger end of the spectrum, the under 35s. The whole premise is to get them more engaged because we have got a whole lot of people still not managing to write their wills” he said.
“Young people are now more into self-directed options and engagement and Greatwill is the perfect solution for Kinly as we are about empowering users. This app allows everything to be updated quickly and easily, as well as keeping your executors up-to-date - no more debate on recency. We are delighted to be expanding into New Zealand, powering the Kinly app” said Wallace Fan, co-founder and CEO of Greatwill, www.greatwill.com.au.
What makes Greatwill App technology stand out?
People are encouraged to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to will creation and management, and Greatwill has created the powerful solution, “Stewardship”, to reduce the costs and time typically involved with wills. It reflects modern day life, and banishes the previous ‘one size fits all’ traditional approach taken by many will writing companies.
In addition to writing a will, Greatwill App encourage continuous updates and amendments which are time stamped with a digital copy of your new will stored in the cloud. Another popular feature of the app is the ability to add a personal video message to your loved ones, reconfirming the wishes of the will or stating the location where the original will is kept. It further digitally connects your executors to the will. When in need, executors know exactly where to retrieve records of the will.
Greatwill would like to extend its innovation to further help other trustee companies and estate planning law firms such as Kōwhiri and Perpetual Guardian.
