Once a Will has been legally completed by Will writing solicitors in North Wales, it is important that this document is then registered and stored safely.
The National Will Register is often used by legal advisors to do this, and there are many advantages to this option.
For example, when someone dies, it is important to have quick and easy access to their Will to make the probate process as stress-free as possible. Having the Will registered can help prevent families having to search through reams of paperwork to find the Will. A family member can make a simple request to the National Will Register and a search will be completed.
Many people change their Wills on a regular basis or when life-changing events happen like a birth, death or marriage. This means there may be several versions of a Will stored in a home and, it can be often be difficult to ascertain which is the most up to date or which ones are valid. Using the National Will Register means the one stored there will be the most recent and legally binding.
Wills solicitors in North Wales may also advise using this register when there is potential for family disputes over assets or bequeaths. This service is used by many professionals such as probate solicitors and insurance specialists who can provide advice and guidance in the event of any problems.
