In the United Kingdom, there is no formal system for registering wills with a central authority or government agency. Unlike some other countries, such as the United States, there is no mandatory requirement to register wills in the UK. However, there are a couple of options available for individuals who wish to register their wills voluntarily:
While will registration is not mandatory in the UK, it's still important to inform your executor, close family members, or trusted individuals about the existence and location of your will. This way, they can ensure that your wishes are carried out after your passing. Consulting with a solicitor who specialises in wills and estates can provide you with more specific guidance and advice based on the laws and practices in the UK.
by the uploading of certain information onto our database and Registering the Will, enters the Will into a Searchable Database.
The document remains confidential until the testator's death and will only be those with a direct involvement will be able to search for it.
Registration of the Will ensures that during probate those administering the estate will be able to perform a search and ensure the last requests of the deceased are undertaken and that the correct executor are able to perform their duty.
Registration to a searchable database also eliminates the risk of executors missing their administration duty and for solicitors firms limits the risk of negligence or missing administration work.
When ‘registered’, a certificate will be produced that can be left with effects, in a safe or given to an individual so they are aware of the registration.
