What is a Will Search?
A will search is a comprehensive service used to locate the Will of a person who has died.
Why is a Will Search necessary?
In many cases it is believed that the Deceased did not make a Will. However, you need to be sure of this and a Will Search will provide you with proof that you acted responsibly before distributing the Estate in accordance with Intestacy Law.
What is an ‘Intestacy’?
This is the formal name given when there is NO WILL. For example, the Deceased dying ‘intestate’ means that no Will was found.

What happens when a Will search is positive?
If a positive match is found for a Will during a search, the law firm concerned will be notified and given the contact details of the person who conducted the Will search. We will also notify you of the name of the firm who replied positively.
Searcher provides documentation to Custodian
The individual who is searching for the Will must provide documentation, such as proof of identification and a death certificate, to the organisation that holds the Will.
Positive match is confirmed
If the conditions for disclosing the existence of the Will are met, the custodian will make arrangements for the Will to be returned to the person who conducted the search and/or contact the Executor(s) named in the Will.

At the conclusion of the process, a Will Search Report is sent with the results of your Willfinder Will Search. This demonstrates that you have taken reasonable steps to locate a Will, or the most up to date version of a Will.
