About us
We built Bequest to change that.
Last updated June 2026
The problem
Making a Will is one of the most loving things you can do for your family. Most people know this. Most people have still never done it. Not because they do not care about their families. Because estate planning was built for someone else.
You would have to call a solicitor. Wait for a callback. Sit through a meeting that started with a quote range and ended with paperwork you barely understood. No one tells you the price before you walk in. No one tells you how long it will take. The process was designed to be opaque, and that opacity is the reason most people never start.
A month becomes a year. A year becomes a decade. And when someone dies without a Will, the people they love are left to navigate the legal system alone, at the worst possible time.
Most people who make a Will are not old, or ill, or especially wealthy. They are parents who just brought a baby home. Couples who signed for their first flat. People who got married last year, or divorced, and realised the documents they have no longer reflect the life they actually live.
What we built
We guide you through all our documents online, in plain language, one question at a time. For legal documents, when you are done, we connect you with Patricia Ho and Associates. A solicitor reviews them. Professional witnesses are provided for the signing. Then you sign in person.
No hourly billing. No hidden fees. At checkout you make two payments: one to Bequest for the platform, one to Patricia Ho and Associates for the legal work. Both amounts are shown. Neither is hidden.
Every document you create is yours to download and keep, designed around a single principle: true ownership. Your legacy belongs to you.
Why we exist
Something every adult has. Not something reserved for people with a lawyer on retainer, or the time to navigate a process that was never designed for them. Estate planning has been a privilege for too long. We are changing that.
We meet people where they are. Online, at the moment something changes.
We remove every barrier before it becomes an excuse. For the parent who keeps meaning to sort it. The couple who just bought their first home together. The person who wants everything handled properly before they step back.
A Will is not paperwork. It is a declaration of who matters to you, what you have built, and how you want to protect the people you love when you can no longer be there to do it yourself. That is worth making easy.
Where we started
Hong Kong has sophisticated legal infrastructure and a remarkably low Will completion rate. Most people who want a Will never make one, not because they do not care, but because the traditional path is opaque, time consuming, and priced for opacity. Bequest was built to change that. The legal work is done by Patricia Ho and Associates, a Hong Kong solicitors' firm, under Hong Kong law. The questions in the wizard reflect Hong Kong family structures, Hong Kong assets, and Hong Kong intestacy rules. We started here because this is where we know the problem. Our mission is broader, but Hong Kong is where the work began.
What we stand for
If something can be said in fewer words, we say it in fewer words. No jargon. No small print. No confusion by design. We explain every term. We show every price. We tell you exactly what we cover and what we do not.
We deal with a hard topic. We do not pretend otherwise. We approach it the way a trusted friend would: honestly, calmly, and with real care for the person in front of us.
This is where it changes
Estate planning should not be something you keep putting off.
Explore our productsTrust is not claimed. It is built through consistency, transparency, and doing exactly what we say we will do. Every Will on Bequest is reviewed by a qualified solicitor. Professional witnesses are provided by Patricia Ho and Associates, a Hong Kong solicitors' firm. That is included in the price. That is not optional. That is who we are.
Estate planning has been a privilege. We are making it a right. Every decision we make is tested against one question: does this make it easier or harder for ordinary families to protect the people they love?
We are a technology product. But we are building for people navigating one of life's most personal decisions. The technology serves the person, never the other way around.
