Write the document
your family will
thank you for.
Answer straightforward questions and we turn them into a Will drafted in compliance with the law. You write it yourself and print it the same day; a solicitor's review is there if you want one, at extra cost.
Your Will, written by you.
Making a Will in Nigeria usually means booking time with a chambers, explaining yourself twice, and a fee you only find out at the end. Castle is a platform, not a law firm: you answer the questions yourself, in your own time, and print the finished document the same day. Every figure is on the page before you start. A solicitor reads it only if you ask for one — and only then do you pay for one.
“Every question a Nigerian estate lawyer would ask — answered in your own time.”

Features
Everything your Will needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Guided Will wizard
Four considered steps, each explained in plain English. No legal jargon — just clarity.
Solicitor review, if you want it
Have your Will read clause by clause by admitted Nigerian counsel before you sign. Optional on Basic, included with Premium.
Encrypted vault
AES-256-GCM before a file touches a disk, HTTPS in transit, and every attempt to read a document logged whether it succeeds or fails.
The witness trap, avoided
A gift to someone who witnesses your Will is void in Nigeria — and it is the mistake people make most. We check your witnesses against your beneficiaries and refuse the combination outright.
A document anyone can check
Every Will carries a QR seal. A bank or registry can scan it to confirm the copy in front of them is genuine and current, without telephoning anybody.
Updates while you subscribe
Life changes. Amend and re-issue your Will as often as you need, free for as long as your annual subscription runs.

Is a Will created on Castle legally binding in Nigeria?+
Yes. Every Will is drafted in compliance with the law, and once signed and witnessed correctly it is fully binding. You do not need a lawyer to make one here — a review by a qualified Nigerian estate lawyer is an optional paid extra, and is included with Premium.
How long does it take to create a Will?+
There are four short steps and a final review, designed to be finished in one sitting. Nothing is timed — you can save your progress and come back whenever you like.
Can I update my Will later?+
Yes. Your Will is held in an encrypted vault, and you can amend, re-sign and re-download it as life changes. Once a Will has been issued, amendments are covered by the annual subscription.
How secure is my data?+
We use AES-256 encryption, audited infrastructure and strict access controls — the same standards as leading banks.
