CWJ have recently joined forces with Certainty the national will register.
What Does The Register Do?
- It allows your family to locate your Will when you pass on
- It records the solicitor’s office where your Will is held
- It ensures that your last wishes are respected
- It gives you peace of mind
What Happens If I Don’t Register
If your Will is missing your loved ones do not automatically get everything.
- Your beneficiaries may not receive inheritance in accordance with your instructions
- Your loved ones may be financially penalised
- The courts distribute your assets deciding who gets what
- It may be assumed that you did not write a Will and again the courts may distribute your assets
- An old Will may be discovered and deemed as your final wishes
- Family disputes can occur
How Do I Register?
- If we completed your Will before June 2010 you will be entitled to a free registration.
- Otherwise, we charge £15 plus VAT for a single will and £20 plus VAT for a couple.
What Should I Do Next?
Simply contact Jeremy Groeger-Wilson on 01689 887847 or email him at Jeremy.groeger-wilson@cwj.co.uk to request that we register your will today.
