Does my Will need to be registered in the Wills Registry?

  • It is not compulsory, and it is a personal choice. Note that the original Will (or its copy) will not be kept here. It is a information depository about the existence of a Will done by you.
  • As of writing, it costs $50 to register your Will in the Wills Registry. Note that this merely lodges the existence and last known location of your Will, but is not a safekeeping service for your Will.
  • Note that a properly written Will is a valid Will even if you did not register it, while an invalid Will doesn’t become valid by registering it.
