Public Will Register:

Welcome to the Australian Registry of Wills, Deeds and DocumentsTM.

This national site acts as a central information centre, assisting those dealing with your estate to easily identify the existence and location of your Will, Deeds and other valuable Documents.

As a registered member, you can nominate specific individuals or professionals including lawyers, solicitors and loved ones, to identify the existence of your important Documents and locate where they are stored. This information can be accessed on our online database quickly and easily from anywhere in the world.

Upon registering, you'll receive your own personalised member account that lists all your registered Documents. All registered Documents are assigned a unique registration number and a registration certificate.
