What would be the consequences
if your Will wasn't found?

• The courts will make all the decisions.
  

  In the absence of your Will the distribution of your assets may be contrary to your wishes.

• Family disputes can occur.
  

  Who will look after the children?
  Who will receive family heirlooms?

• Your beneficiaries may suffer.
  

  They may not receive what you intended them to inherit - they may receive nothing.

• Your funeral wishes cannot be clarified.
  Adding more stress to those left behind.

• Your favourite charities will lose out.
  Without formal documentation, intended bequests cannot be implemented.

Here are just a few reasons why you
should register your Will today:

• Solicitors, Will-Writers and Estate Planners are not automatically aware of the deaths of their clients, and therefore thousands of Wills remain unclaimed in archives.

• Relying on others to remember the location of Wills is not wise! Individuals do forget and become confused, particularly at distressing times. Why take a risk when you can register the location of your Will?

• Those who know the whereabouts of your Will may have moved away, lost touch, become mentally impaired or died.

• Your next of kin may not know, or recall, who holds the Will or whether a Will even exists.

• Sometimes it is presumed that a Will doesn't exist, when in fact, it does.

• Out-of-date Wills are acted upon when they are mistakenly believed to be the latest version.

• Many couples write Wills believing that the remaining partner will reveal the Will. Sadly, couples do occasionally die together.

• Wills held at home can be maliciously or accidentally destroyed.

By registering your Will with Willdata you are ensuring that you have provided a sometimes vital link to the location of your Will.
