Q: "Is my will a public record?"

A: It will be when you die.

Here at Maplebrook Wills Limited we operate under a code of ethics and confidentiality. You can trust us that your private details are kept securely.

When you pass away, the people/ professionals legally responsible for dealing with your estate - they're the executors - usually have to apply for Grant of Probate in order to do so.

When probate is granted, wills of those in England and Wales become accessible to anyone. (The process varies in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the will still ends up on public record.)

So anyone can apply for access to it, whether or not they're a family member.
Exceptions to this include wills of the Royals! ⛔️

If you don't want specific inheritance details to be public knowledge, one answer is to use a will trust. This type of document allows some information to be kept private.

Your private preferences of people you'd like to benefit/ not benefit can go into a separate Letter of Wishes. The trustees will be able to understand and act on those preferences, without it going to public record.

Need advice on writing your will, or setting up a will trust?

The vast majority of the public are completely oblivious to the benefits of a lasting power of attorney-let alone a Business power of attorney.
Unfortunately,ignorance is not bliss,when it comes to losing capacity to make decisions for yourself.
Dealing with the Court of protection is something that I would not wish upon anyone.
So ,don’t put off today ,what you might think about tomorrow.
Just get it done.Because life is just complicated enough.

I met a self employed tradesman to discuss his Will. Things where pretty straightforward, everything to his Wife and then to his children. We discussed...
