Aasaanwill : Making Estate Planning Simple, Smart, & Inclusive
Despite a surge in digital transformation across legal services, succession planning remains one of the most overlooked and underserved segments. The traditional process is fragmented, costly, and time-consuming, often deterring indi- viduals from taking proactive steps. Without a valid will, the survivors must navi-gate a labyrinth of paperwork, court proce dures, and conflicting claims, often at significant emotional and financial cost. This is not an uncommon situation in India, where fewer than 3 percent of adults have an estate plan, despite the growing complexity of asset ownership. It's a structural problem in personal finance that Aasaanwill addresses with an equally structural solution.
Aasaanwill is a digital estate planning platform developed by AssetVault to assist individuals in managing and tracking their assets more effectively. The platform enables users to create legally valid wills entirely online, offering a streamlined, secure, and user-friendly experience from the comfort of their homes. “We are building the wealth transfer infrastructure for Indians by solving a very critical gap in finance as well as legal”, says Abhinav Daga, COO, Aasaanwill. The company assists in local languages, and legal documents can be prepared in the customer’s preferred language, be it Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or Bengali.
A Guided Journey
Traditionally burdened by high legal fees, opaque procedures, and time intensive manual effort, often requiring 600–700 minutes, the platform streamlines the process to as little as 90 minutes. It uses a three-step process, where users input their details into a guided interface, legal experts verify and draft the will and Aasaanwill facilitates registration or notarization
through vetted partners. “This streamlined approach reduces uncertainty, boosts confidence in our customers, and ensures legal protection through registration and authorization”, says Abhinav.
The platform is intentionally designed to be jargon-free, with intuitive workflows that explain each term and decision point in accessible language. Content assets such as explainer videos, multilingual webinars, and scenario-based guidance complement the platform’s digital journey.
Every document is reviewed by legal experts, and users are offered real-time chat and phone support for questions. Rather than outsourcing customer service to automation, Aasaanwill maintains a human interface that ensures emotional sensitivity and legal accuracy, especially important in a domain as personal as inheritance.
Rooted in Legal Expertise
The clarity and transparency of Aasaanwill’s operations play a significant role in building trust. This trust is not incidental, it’s the product of rigorous backend processes, continuous regulatory monitoring, and focus on usability. The company’s in-house legal and compliance teams conduct regular audits and collaborate with external advisors to ensure legal conformity across jurisdictions. Their awareness of evolving state-wise differences in succession laws ensures clients receive documents that are personalized and enforceable.
In several real-life instances, after the passing of a testator, families have expressed deep gratitude for the seamless experience Aasaanwill provided in drafting and storing the will. In addition, the clientele spans a wide spectrum of individuals, including entrepreneurs, parents of children with disabilities, senior citizens dealing with intricate family dynamics, NRIs securing their Indian assets, and women seeking autonomy in a system still shaped by patriarchal succession laws.
The company aims to build an integrated platform for end-to-end wealth transfer and succession planning. This includes automating downstream financial processes and institutional interactions that follow a death. The idea is to shift succession planning from being an afterthought to becoming a financial hygiene practice. With a platform built on compliance and technology, Aasaanwill can streamline succession planning for Indians across geographies, income groups, and linguistic backgrounds.
