Couldn't you use something like Huffman encoding to compress the entire will and print it on a single sheet of paper, then the estate could use OCR to scan and reverse the compression? If you're using ASCII characters only, I assume the compression could be very high.

That's a nice idea. A more user friendly option is preferable though. (Something like - https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-paper-data-storage-option/ ...)
