myprosperity and View Legal partner to offer automated estate planning services
myprosperity, Australia’s leading personal wealth portal, is partnering with Australian estate planning firm, View Legal to provide free, standard wills.
A personal wealth portal, myprosperity is a white-label desktop and mobile app that advisers and accountants can enable for their clients. The platform provides a consolidated, real-time view of a client’s entire financial world, thanks to live integrations with leading financial services providers.
When enabled by an adviser, myprosperity’s estate planning functionality will allow a client to generate a standard View Legal will and automatically populate the relevant data from their personal wealth portal, including all their assets and liabilities. This legally binding will is then stored on myprosperity, delivering greater utility through the portal.
Chris Ridd, CEO of myprosperity, said of the partnership “It’s estimated that nearly 50% of Australians will die without a will, and our own data shows that over 70% of myprosperity clients do not have an up-to-date will. Yet predictions say $2.4 trillion in wealth will be passed on over the next three decades.”
Ridd continued “View Legal are recognised experts in estate planning and their standard will is miles ahead of any equivalent that can be found commercially. By leveraging their expertise to provide a standard, pre-populated will, we’re helping our clients to achieve peace of mind and taking our first step towards redefining estate planning.”
Matthew Burgess, Founder of View Legal, said “Estate planning and wills especially haven’t changed much in the last hundred years. View Legal has a history of leveraging technology to solve complex legal issues like estate planning. Together with our technology partner, NowInfinity we’ve designed a technology solution that will break down some of the traditional barriers of entry that have resulted in so many Australians not having a valid will. To be able to share this journey with myprosperity is exceptionally exciting for us.”
