Electronic Will or E-Will Services now Available on the Web!

There are two things that are certain in One’s Life. One being Taxes and the second is Death!

Ask anyone who has experienced a “Near Death Experience” in their Real Life or Virtual Life, they will tell you the importance of writing a Will. Writing a Will allows you to distribute your assets both virtual and non-virtual assets to those as per your wish.  In the absence of a Will, your assets will be distributed to your dear ones as per the prevailing laws of the land and not as per your wishes.

For those who are E-illiterates, a traditional brick and mortar lawyer at the corner of the street would suffice to write a will before they “kick the bucket”.  But in today’s Digital Age, E-literates prefer getting their will done on the Web by way of E-Will Services before they “Kick the Mouse”.  


Writing a Will is more important now-a-days and may seem complicated in today’s Digital Environment where most of us have a “Second Life” in the Virtual Environment and own innumerable Digital Assets, like Bitcoins, email documents, attachments, secret messages in our mailbox, cloud, Whatsapp, royalties from photos on Instagram, revenues from Ebooks, Adsense, Websites, Blogs, and more. These digital assets are in addition to our traditional assets like real estate, shares, bank deposits and the like.

In order for a Will to be legally valid there are many legal requirements to be followed failing which a Will can be held invalid in the eyes of law.

And now you can make a Will on the Web with the help of E-will writing services that offer seamless Will services at ease which can be delivered to you via email or at your doorstep in a print format at you convenience. The E-Will is drafted by legal experts taking into consideration the religion and community of the person, wishes, and other factors. The information and data are totally secure and encrypted to ensure confidentiality and privacy.  

So what are you waiting for? Make sure you get your E-Will written before you “Kick the Mouse” and don’t forget to include your digital assets as well.

Legal Status of Electronic Cigarettes or E-Cigarettes


Like any other products in the Digital Age, an electronic version of a cigarette has finally arrived. Yes, the conventional cigarette is also available in the Electronic Form namely Electronic Cigarette (electronic nicotine delivery systems-ENDS) which is the new fad among the "Internet Generation" and tobacco users all over the world. An “E-Cigy” as the New Generation calls it fondly, is a battery operated product that delivers nicotine and comes in different flavors like menthol, peach, peppermint and so on.

The Legal Status of Electronic Cigarettes is currently creating a dilemma for law enforcement and healthcare officials. These include factors related to health, medical policies, speed of innovation of new products and legality of innovation. While some countries follow the WHO convention on tobacco control, some have restrictions on its use in public places, confined places like bars, restaurants, and clubs. E-Cigarettes that contain nicotine are illegal in some countries while nicotine-free E-Cigarettes are legal.

In European Union, sale of E-Cigarettes to persons under 18 years of age is prohibited. In the United Kingdom, sale and use of Electronic Cigarettes are legal and E-Cigarettes are not covered by the smoking ban. In the United States, sale and use of Electronic Cigarettes are regulated and in the absence of a Federal Law, some states in the US prohibit the sale of E-Cigarettes to persons below 18 years of age.  Some countries where Electronic Cigarettes are legal are Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, India and China.Some places where E-cigarettes are illegal include Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Panama.

Some argue that the nicotine in Electronic Cigarettes contain less harmful ingredients than a conventional cigarette which comes with tar and other carcinogenic material.  They also argue that the "Electronic Version" helps smokers quit their habit and even helps to reduce the number of conventional cigarettes they smoke regularly.

Like in any electronic version of a new innovation, sales of E-Cigarettes are growing rapidly and the E-Cigarette industry is valued more than $15 billion . The traditional tobacco lobby is feeling a dip in their revenue due to the fad for the “E-Cigy” among youngsters and is lobbying for a ban in countries like India.  The online sales figures of E-Cigarettes are a clear indication of its popularity, disclosed an E-tailer who spoke to TechLegalWorld and wished to remain anonymous since he was not authorized to speak on behalf of the E-commerce giant selling E-Cigarettes in India.
