UK Will Register
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
This is a letter the Certainty National Will Register has received from a member of the public.
On researching the subject of Wills, the facts seem fairly simple. Having one is obviously a good idea so you’re estate is divided according to your wishes. Not having one could potentially cause your family a big headache, extra upheaval and distress and possibly a larger inheritance tax bill that your loved ones could be forced to pay.
Unfortunately my family learnt the hard way when my Mum died without a Will leaving us with a large inheritance bill that meant that we had to sell the family home and move into smaller accommodation. Not wanting this to happen to my children, I’ve done some research into registering my Will with a UK Will Register. From what I can gather, the basic idea behind a UK Will Register is that it ensures that the location of your Will is recorded so it can be found when you pass on. I realise now that my family are not the only ones to have suffered such upheaval resulting from a parent’s missing Will.
There are thousands of benefactors out there in the same position who can’t find family Wills. I personally think that a UK Will Register should be compulsory for everyone who writes a Will but then again writing a Will and registering it with a UK Will Register is something we all need to take seriously and view it as a caring act of necessity for our families so they don’t suffer unnecessarily. Having already written my Will and registered it now with the UK Will Register www.Certainty.co.uk, I’m trying to encourage everyone I know to do the same.
Be Safe and use Certainty to register a will on the UK’s National Will Register.
