The National Will Register (known as Certainty) is the longest-established and largest register of Wills in the UK.

Wherever you write your Will, it is up to you to then register the Will with Certainty. You can register your Will as soon as it has been signed. Certainty will not store your original Will nor a copy of it, instead they will record the storage location of your Will and make a note of details such as who your executors are and the date the will was made. The contents of your Will remain private.

It is important to note that your original Will is the only valid version. Copies are not permissible.

The main advantage of registering your Will is that, when you die, if your family doesn't know that a Will exists or where it is stored, a search of the register will quickly give them the information they need.
