What Should I Do if My Will Is Flagged?
Log In to Your Safewill Account: Begin by accessing your account on the Safewill platform.
Review the Flag Notification: Upon logging in, you’ll see specific reasons why your will was flagged. This will provide guidance on whether updates are needed in the Estate/Gift section, Notes section, or elsewhere.

Save or Download the Adjusted Will: Once the changes are made, you can save or download the corrected version of your will for your records.
Understanding Common Reasons for Flagged Wills
If your will is flagged, it generally indicates an issue with how gifts, property descriptions, or asset management directives were specified.
Improper Use of the Asset Section: Always use the Assets section exclusively for listing owned items, while assigning them to beneficiaries should be done in the Gifts section. Misplacement might prompt the system to flag such entries.
Incorrect Descriptions in the Gifts Section: Ensure descriptions are clear and concise without adding unnecessary instructions or explanations. For example, "My 2020 Ford Mustang" is correct, whereas "One of my cars" is not.
Non-Binding Notes in the Liabilities and Assets Section: Notes for guidance must be clearly non-binding, with binding instructions placed in the relevant modules for proper execution.
