Our mission is to provide a trusted platform for individuals to securely record and preserve the integrity of their estate planning and digital records. This will allow the individual sovereignty over who, how, and when information is accessed, stored, and shared, creating a frictionless experience for all involved.
The WillBits story began when a family member suffering from dementia in her declining years fell victim to financial elder abuse. Assets had gone missing and there was uncertainty about her mental capacity when she had written the final will, triggering contesting of the will upon her death. This resulted in lengthy and costly court proceedings, painfully adding to the grief of losing a loved one.
We recognised that Australia has an aging population and an increasing incidence of dementia, plus a growing number of seniors are experiencing financial elder abuse and many families experience traumatic court proceedings and erosion of the estate when a will is contested.
