My solicitor has advised me that a lasting powers of attorney allows someone to give an attorney of their choice the power to make certain decisions on their behalf. This is usually done while the person is still able to make their own decisions, but with the possibility in mind that they may not be able to in the future. Not sure if I’m even ready to think about this yet.

I recently discovered the UK will register whilst surfing the net. The UK will registers’ chairman is a former president of the Law Society and until I stumbled upon it I was totally unaware of the purpose of a UK will register. I believe it’s the will register that has actually now gone online.

Making a will is a lot easier than you think for the majority of us. After all the majority of us when it comes to making a will only have ourselves and our family to think about. There are various ways to make a will. You can make a DIY will or visit an unregulated will writer or use your local solicitor.

I’ve already got a Will in existence and I’ve just discovered that there is a National Will Register website that will allow me to register my Will with them for absolutely no charge to myself! There must be a catch or a hidden fee somewhere surely? On visiting the site, I put their claims to the test of registering within 60 seconds and found them to be true. Registration was quick and easy even for someone who is slow on a keyboard like me!

I have recently scoured my Fathers house from top to bottom looking for his missing will as he recently passed on. I’m pretty sure he wrote a will as he mentioned that the only item that was specifically leaving to one of the children was a piano which he was going to leave to my brother.

I’m pleased to say that I’ve found a great online service which is assisting me to search for a will. I was really stumped and didn’t know how I would go about this but there is a new national service that allows you to search the national will register and if the will hasn’t been registered it allows you to search for a will via solicitors offices.

I’ve written my Will and my solicitor has now given me the opportunity to register it via certainty the Uk’s Will Register which records the location of your will. I didn’t even realise it was necessary to register a will but when I looked into it I can’t believe how many wills actually go missing and are assumed lost. If this happens your estate would be treated as if you had never written a Will.

I’ve been married four times and have 6 children. I clearly remember making a will when I married my first wife. When we separated and I remarried and had my second child with my second wife I thought about making a will again for some time and eventually got around to doing it but it then occurred to me what would happen if my first wife had kept a copy of my first will from my previous marriage? So I spoke to the solicitor who said that my new will would supersede my old will however I should contact my original solicitor who holds the original will to destroy the original first will.

I’m looking for somewhere to register my Will as I want to ensure that it’s safe and secure. I don’t actually want to send the will off to anybody. I just want to let my family know where the original is located when I pass on. I’ve done endless research online to find out if there is an official will register. There is a probate register but this means I have to deposit my will there which I don’t want to do and then I would have to rely on my remaining family checking at the register for it. In somewhat of a quandary I decided to ring my solicitor and asked the question is there an official will register where I can register the location of my will?

Although I’m only relatively ‘young’, as I’ve got children, have various life assurance policies and own a house, I’ve decided to arrange to have my Will written to safeguard my family. I’ve just read about the National Will Register ‘Certainty’ and after reading about the benefits it can bring I’m going to select a solicitor in my area through their website so as members they will be able to sign me up as part of the Will Writing process.
