Why should I register a will?

Our 2024 National Wills Report found that 53% of people in the UK haven’t spoken to anyone about their wishes with regards to their passing. Writing and updating a will is vitally important to make sure that an estate isn’t contested and that loved ones remain protected. Once written it is imperative that the most recent will can then be found. That’s where we come in.

Registering a will with us is secure and confidential. Only the location of a will is linked to the testator and disclosure of that is only granted by the holder of the will, usually a solicitor or will writer, upon the completion of identity checks and presentation of a death certificate. Our will searches are most often conducted by family and friends, many of whom find they are executors to the estate or beneficiaries.

Free Will Registration Month runs between May 1st, 2025 and May 31st, 2025.

You can register your will for free by clicking here and using the code FREEWILLREG25, or by contacting the solicitor or will writer who holds your will.

It takes just 60 seconds, your basic details and the location of where the original will is safely stored to ensure that if your will is lost, misplaced or forgotten over the passage of time, it can be found instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The National Will Register does not need to see a copy of your will to register it. The contents of your will remain confidential to you, the professional you used to write the will and your beneficiaries. Registration records the existence and tags the location of your will on The National Will Register, so that the people you have left your estate to, or those you have chosen to be your executors, can find it when you have passed away.

Your basic personal details are used to send confirmation when a will is registered. After this, your personal details are only used at the crucial time it is needed, when your will is being searched for.
