Will Registry-Secure Centralized Database
If you were hospitalized today and unable to make your wishes known or if you were to pass away, would your family know where to find a copy of your Last Will and Testament, Living Will, Power of Attorney, Funeral Directive or other important legal documents?

What can happen if you are unable to locate a decedent's will?

"I had a woman who cared for someone to whom she was not related or married. The individual was desperate to find the decedent’s Will and documents. If she did not, she would have no home or anything after being with the person for over 40 years. Well, two years later, we did find the Will, after hundreds of calls and letters. Will Registry Inc. can eliminate situations such as this unfortunate circumstance." -Bonnie Lawston, NY Estate Planning Attorney

Safeguard Your Investment


Preparing a Will, Trust or Estate Plan involves considerable forethought and careful planning, not to mention costs that can range from $600 to $3500 or more. Despite the time and money people invest in mapping out their future, when they die, more than 50% of the time, the family is not able to locate the Will, Power of Attorney, Estate Plan or Trust documents, nor can they find the attorney who prepared the documents.

Secure Storage for Legal Documents


It is vital that all your legal documents be kept in a secure, yet accessible location. If an attorney prepares your Will, he will give you a copy and store the original. But, if you do not notify your next of kin, they may have no idea where you keep your legal documents or the name of the attorney who drafted your will, trust or estate plan.

As an attorney, I have received countless calls over the years, from family members looking for the Will of a loved one who died and desperate to find the attorney who drafted it. Read More

Prepare for Unforseen Circumstances


While law firms make every effort to store your Will in a secure manner, it is prudent to anticipate unforeseen circumstances. Consider what may happen if your attorney dies or a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane or other disaster destroys the legal office where your documents are stored. How would your family obtain a copy of your Last Will and Testament?
