How it works in practice

Draft complex Wills with clearer choices and earlier safeguards

Visual gift distribution

See how every gift, share and fallback fits together

The Will drafting App includes a visual gift distribution tree that turns complex instructions into a clear structure. Add a gift, divide it between beneficiaries in the required shares and define fallbacks while keeping the complete distribution visible before documents are produced.

  • Gift distributions in one clear view
  • Beneficiary percentages visible as the structure develops
  • Fallback recipients linked to the relevant gift or share

Instant drafting checks

Catch drafting issues at the point they arise

The Will App checks key instructions as they are entered, giving practitioners immediate warnings and safeguards instead of leaving issues to be found after the drafting journey is complete.

  • Warn when a gift distribution does not total 100%
  • Prevent a discretionary trust with only one beneficiary
  • Require more than one trustee for a minor's trust
  • Flag when a proposed witness is also a beneficiary

From instruction to Will

Four steps from instructions to a finished Will

Everything is captured once - beneficiaries, gifts and clauses stay connected to the matter throughout.

  1. Create a Will matter

    Start from a new or existing matter, with the client's details already captured.

  2. Open the Will App

    Launch the specialist questionnaire from the matter and work through the guided sections.

  3. Map gifts and choose clauses

    Structure beneficiaries, shares and fallbacks in the visual tree, selecting approved clauses and resolving instant checks as you go.

  4. Generate and retain

    Create the final documents and keep the activity, correspondence and outputs connected in one place.

Frequently asked questions

The practical details

Clear answers to the questions private-client practices commonly ask before taking the next step.

What is a Superlawyer Will drafting App?

It is a guided questionnaire within the Will matter. It combines structured sections, a visual gift distribution tree, an approved clause library and instant drafting checks, then reuses trusted matter data to create the Will and configured accompanying documents.

What does the Will clause library cover?

The comprehensive library covers all gift and trust types plus specialist provisions such as literary executor appointments, individual executor fallbacks, bespoke executor and trustee powers, child-specific guardianship clauses, pet provisions with associated gifts and many more. Every clause is reviewed and approved by specialist SRA-regulated law firms on our advisory panel before it enters the system.

What does instant error checking look for?

Checks include gift distributions that do not total 100%, discretionary trusts with only one beneficiary, minor's trusts with only one trustee and proposed witnesses who are also beneficiaries. Warnings appear while the practitioner is drafting so the issue can be addressed straight away.
