We record, in perpetuity, the location of a Will, regardless of where it is stored and how it was made.

The Registry does not need to see a copy of your Will, and does not physically store the Will itself. Wills are usually lodged (or stored) with a solicitor, the Public Trustee or with a Will storing company.

Registration of your Will on the Wills Register is free and can be completed over the Registry's secure Internet site.

Access to the Wills Register

While you are alive, only you or your authorised representative can access details of your Will from the Wills Register.

An authorised representative may be your solicitor or the Executor to your estate.

Please note that the Registry cannot divulge any personal information regarding the contents of the Will as it only records the location at which it is held.
