Updating/replacing a lost will
Discussion
Hello, I've literally lost the will.
I made a will about 18 years ago but have lost all record of it and the company that I made it with.
Is there a central register of wills? Could I find it somehow using just my name and address?
Or, if I make another will now, does it automatically override any that I've previously written?
Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.I made a will about 18 years ago but have lost all record of it and the company that I made it with.

As you are still alive it doesn't matter as it should be relatively straightforward to make a new one.

Yes, and it should say that on the Will itself.Thanks
There is no central register of wills and easy to prepare a new more up-to-date one to reflect your current wishes. Normally it is held with the company/solicitors preparing and you have a copy.
Good to let others know where it is kept at home and or who prepared it for the obvious reason.
