Missing will
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
This is a letter the Certainty National Will Register has received from a member of the public.
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.
This isn’t the reason for needing to find the missing will obviously as my brother is more than welcome to have the piano but as I’ve discovered a missing will in certain financial situations is going to leave us in the hands of the rules of intestate. We have been told that if you find yourself in a situation of a missing will there are a number of action steps you should take. One is to search the deceased house although in our case I know my Father kept a lot of important documents in a briefcase and this briefcase went missing after a recent burglary.
You can run a search with the national will register or you can try the probate register. To cover all bases I am currently doing all of this.
Be Safe and use Certainty to register a will on the UK’s National Will Register.

How inconvenient that the will was probably in the briefcase… Lets hope that he has registered and you get what you are entitled too. Makes me sick when everything is taken into the hands of the intestate because then your left with pretty much nothing of technically your own items. That feels like burglary in its own right to me.
