Willdata was founded in 2003 by Jon Lucas.
He saw at first hand the need for the location of Wills to be
registered following the death of a relation and witnessing
the additional heartache and difficulty that the family went
through to locate the Will. To alleviate this problem, he founded
Willdata.info as a National Will Registration and Search facility
which is now considered as the most comprehensive UK National
Will Register. We hold registrations for Wills dating as far
back as the early 1900's.
So how can we help you?
You can register the location of your own Will online for FREE,
or submit a Search Request for the location of a 'lost' Will
using our service.
Registering your own Will - To protect your loved ones
from the distress caused by a 'lost' or 'missing' Will you should
register it's location on the National Will Register operated
by Willdata.
Once the simple Will
Registration Form has been submitted to Willdata, the details
are held securely on our database. We do not store the Will
itself, we just record the location of it so it can be found
when it is needed.
Search for a 'lost' Will - Complete a simple Search
Request Form online with as many details about the missing
Will as you can.
We do not store Wills or copies of Wills nor do we hold any
information relating to any of the contents of a Will, but we
do find missing or lost Wills.
We will process a comprehensive search of the Wills already registered
with us and if your Search is successful we will tell you the last
registered location of the Will. You can then retrieve it and have
peace of mind in knowing that the wishes of your loved one will be
carried out as they intended. Only the Executors of a Will, a legal
professional with appropriate authority, or the person whose Will
it is can retrieve a Will.
Our online Search Service usually takes a few days to complete but
if you are submitting a search by post you should allow 28 days. Tracing
a Solicitor or Will Writer may take longer but we will advise you
of our progress throughout.
Should the Will not be registered with Willdata, we will add
the missing Will to our Missing
Wills Lists which can be accessed by every single Bank,
Solicitor, Will Writer, Estate Planner and Storage Company in
the UK. We will also re-run your Search free of charge as we
receive Archive Registrations from our Registrars.
Our service is successful because we are understanding and thorough,
we don't have expensive fee earners to support and we put you,
our customers, first.
"Thank you
so much for
all your efforts.
We really do
appreciate all the
hard work that has
been done by you."

that a Missing Will brings
