Customer Feedback

“The team at The National Will Register undertook a professional and thorough will search for us, resulting in peace of mind at a very difficult time.”

Ralph & Lynne – Public

“Failing to conduct a will search where one should be made when dealing with an estate could very easily amount to negligence.”

David Webb – Mander Hadley Solicitors

“The National Will Register made the process as simple as possible for us to not only digitise our will bank, but to be able to utilise this for wider will bank management.”

Nicola Weldon – Ellisons Solicitors

“The will that was located wasn’t the one I expected that was written around 20 years ago! My father had written a will in 2017 that the search located, which changed the executor and beneficiaries of the estate.”

Mrs Duffy – Public

“Will registration is part of our estate planning process and we conduct a will search on every intestacy, when acting as professional executor and always advise that a will search is conducted on every estate.”

Faye Lowery – Breens Solicitors

“It is very important for us that we undertake a will search at the beginning of each probate matter or intestacy, so that we can establish before taking any other steps that we are dealing with the relevant will or later will.”

Hollie Coates – Coates Solicitors
