Wills are one of the most important legal documents a person creates in their life, which is why it is highly advised to ensure that they stay protected for years to come. If you want to write a Will but are wondering whether Wills must be registered or not, keep on reading to find out.
What Does it Mean to Register a Will?
To register a Will means to record the Will on a secure database such as The National Will Register. There is no legal requirement to register a Will in the UK; however, doing so can provide you with an added layer of protection. Registering your Will helps the executors find the Will easily, preventing delays and limiting the chance of things being dealt with in a way that is against your wishes.
Writing a Legally Valid Will
To guarantee that your estate is distributed in accordance with your wishes, writing your Will alongside an experienced solicitor is imperative. Taking the process solely in your own hands can lead to you missing out key details; in doing so, this could result in the validity of the Will being questioned and not being honoured.
