Last Will and Testament Generator (Hong Kong)

A last will and testament is a legal document setting out how a person's assets should be distributed and who should care for any minor children after their death. This free Hong Kong generator produces simple wills, wills naming a guardian for minor children, and wills including specific item bequests. The Wills Ordinance sets out the formal requirements for a valid Hong Kong will, generally that it be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses, and if a person dies without a valid will, their estate is distributed according to the Intestates' Estates Ordinance rather than their own wishes; Hong Kong has had no estate duty since 2006. It is designed for Hong Kong residents who want to set out their wishes clearly, though those with complex assets, blended families, or a business should seek legal advice. The generator lets you name an executor, beneficiaries, a guardian for minor children if needed, and specific bequests. Use it as a starting point, and have the final will properly signed and witnessed according to the Wills Ordinance.
