Will Power

Cheerful, we know! However, conversations around Wills and planning for life and death are surprisingly uncommon in Hong Kong. It can feel scary, and taboo at times. This workshop was inspired by conversations we have had in our peer support groups with attendees who have lost a loved one.

Expressing our wishes and writing a will is important for anyone. This is true regardless of your gender identity, age, and the value of what you own. This event is called Will Power because we aim to equip you with knowledge, guidance and confidence.

Will Power is brought to you by The New Normal Charity and Good Wills Hong Kong.

About Good Wills

Allowing every person the right to have a say in where their assets should go and to let their love last - this is how and why Good Wills is founded.

In Asian countries like Hong Kong, perhaps due to the lack of public awareness and the influence of TV dramas, a Will is generally seen as something that only the wealthiest or the eldest one requires. In fact, a Will is not just a document you use to avoid estate dispute or solely for the distribution of assets, it enables you to achieve various other purposes, just to name a few – appoint guardian(s) for your minor children, make distribution not just for your assets that are of monetary value but also of sentimental value. It ensures that your hard-earned assets end up in the correct hands and not letting the law dictate where they should go. Most importantly, it takes away the uncertainty and eases any emotional stress for your loved ones when you are not around. That is why everyone should have one.

Established in Hong Kong, we strive to provide the best Will writing and consulting services to our clients in the region. Whether your assets are all located in Hong Kong, or in multiple countries, we can discuss with you what arrangements might work best in your circumstances.
