Leadway Capital and Trusts Limited, a subsidiary of Leadway Holdings Limited, has launched its digital Will writing service with a digital retail product called ‘iWill’, for various categories of Nigerians.

This is coming on the heels of a perceived gap in the trust space, which according to the company remains a major issue in the Nigerian society and this is evident in the number of legal tussles for the estate of dead people for lack of a proper estate plan.

According to the company, an important point to note in life is that “an Estate Plan is for everybody: single, married, divorced, with or without children, young adults and the elderly” and this was the take away at the launch by Leadway Capital & Trusts Limited latest product last week.

Ayo Wuraola, managing director, Leadway Capital & Trusts, at the event, spoke on the brand’s offering of a quick and convenient way to write a Will either on-line or through their representatives who are trained professionals equipped with information to assist customers complete the process of writing their Wills easily and quickly.

With a written Will, you ensure your loved ones are provided for and that the distribution of your properties as you deem fit are validly documented thus promoting easy succession.

Morenike Akinwande-Tomori, head, Private Trusts, says she understands the true human need for people to provide and secure a better future for nuclear and extended family members, as well as sometimes for friends, associates, charities and other interests, should the unexpected happen.

“The launch of a Will writing service that is available online and via direct partners is our solution to help the teeming populace document their intention for when they eventually pass on. She added

“We also want to encourage people to go online as it is easier and more accessible. Simple Will and Simple Will Plus are options provided for subscription, depending on the nature of assets an individual possesses and both have complimentary insurance covers.”
