About MyHeartwill

MyHeartwill gives you the tools to create a lasting sense of your life for the ones you love.

Whatever stage you have reached, this website provides a secure platform to store your most cherished memories and hopes, through photos, recordings, letters, copies of memorabilia and your individual thoughts and messages. When combined, these elements come together to create a sense of you, of what you believe, of what you love and value.

MyHeartwill enables you to leave dedicated messages for loved ones. These messages can be instantly available to loved ones when they access your Heartwill, or scheduled to be delivered to them in the future to coincide with significant events in their lives. 

MyHeartwill uses state-of-the-art technology to provide functionality beyond just a safe box. You can create Heartwills for individual people and which only they can access.

MyHeartwill is a way for you to live on, beyond your lifetime - a way to leave a lasting legacy. While most people create a legal will to handle their affairs and pass on material belongings, until now a Heartwill has rarely been considered.

How to use MyHeartwill


1. Shaping a Heartwill

Your Heartwill can take many forms, from writing a letter or story, to creating a photo album or video series.  You could even upload a copy of a birth certificate, or scan in images from scrapbooks.

You can edit your Heartwill at any time to add more items, or change your existing entries.

2. Personalising your Heartwills

When you set up a MyHeartwill account, you have the option to create as many individual Heartwills as you like for specific people in your life. Each Heartwill is like a designated folder, holding precious content you have dedicated to someone special. The Heartwill you create for your partner, for example, can be different from the Heartwill you create for your grandchildren, or best friends.

You can write a message to be sent to a loved one at a future point in time, when you are no longer here.  If it’s for a birthday, wedding or anniversary, it can bring a sense of you to the occasion.

3. Your Heartwill Guardian

It is important that the individual Heartwills you create, reach those for whom they are created. To make this happen, you need to appoint a reliable person - such as a partner, sibling or close friend – as your ‘Guardian’.  Your Guardian will be responsible for putting your valuable legacy into the right hands when it’s needed.

The Guardian you nominate can jointly administer your Heartwill account with you while you are alive.  If someone would like to access your Heartwill in years to come, your Guardian will be responsible for granting or declining permission.
