Can Evaheld help create wills or advance care directives?

Evaheld includes an online will maker and guided advance care planning pathways that can help a person think through, document and organise important wishes. Those tools support preparation, but the legal effect of a will or advance care directive depends on the rules that apply in the person’s jurisdiction.

How Evaheld can support the process

Guided pathways can make it easier to identify the people, assets, preferences and decisions that need attention. The vault can also keep contextual information, professional contacts and the location of signed originals together so trusted people know what exists and where to find it.

Advance care planning can include a person’s values, treatment preferences, substitute decision-maker information and care priorities. Recording that context can improve family conversations and help a professional understand what matters to the person.

Formal requirements still matter

Wills and advance care directives may require prescribed wording, signatures, witnesses, capacity or other formal steps. The rules can differ between states, territories and countries, and they can change. Complex estates, blended families, business interests, contested relationships or uncertainty about capacity are strong reasons to obtain tailored professional advice.

Evaheld should be used to support the appropriate legal and medical process, not bypass it. After a formal document is completed, record its date, location and relevant adviser, and review the information after major changes in family, health, assets or residence.
