This is getting very off topic, but I'm cringing at the implication/suggestion of keeping "the will" digitally on the computer. A copy on the computer can help do things like determine the first person to call as executor, but that's it; a copy has exactly zero legal weight, in any common-law jurisdiction (most of the English-speaking world) and in most of Europe, not to mention Asia. It not only has to be paper, but it has to be with ink signatures. There are very, very rigid requirements for both executing a will and for how the document is to be presented so it can be enforced; if there's no will fitting both of those requirements, the rules of intestate succession (probate without a will) govern.

Whether that's the way it should be is beside the point. That's the way it is. Please, please, PLEASE do not suggest or imply anything different.
