OCBC Bank has rolled out a free online service to help Singapore citizens and residents aged 21 and above prepare their own wills within 10 minutes. It is common in the city-state to seek the help of a lawyer, who typically charges S$99 to S$500 to prepare a basic will. Yet there is no legal requirement that a will must be prepared or witnessed by a lawyer. A pilot session has been successfully conducted among a group of 10 seniors who tried out the OCBC Online Will Generator on various devices.
