Launched in 2000, LegalWills already provides online will-writing and estate-planning services to clients in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The new partnership will extend existing services offered by Legatus Trust to incorporate LegalWills’ online will-writing software, and financial advisers will be able to create wills on behalf of their clients. South African LegalWills clients will also be able to select Legatus Trust as their executor.
