What are the benefits of registering with GlobalWILLRegistry.com?

GlobalWILLRegistry.com offers many compelling benefits and advantages to you. They are:

Top of Mind Recall: The name "Global WILL Registry" is self-explanatory and very easy to remember even after many years. It is the first place people will visit to check a person's WILL location. Thus the probability of your loved ones knowing your WILL location is significantly higher than other WILL registries, which translate to a greater peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Innovative Solution: In times of need, we understand the urgency to view the WILL location at the shortest possible time. That's the reason why we are the first to allow you to view the requested WILL location of your loved one immediately on your screen (once your payment is approved).

FREE Unlimited Edit: You can login to your user friendly account and update your details and WILL location anytime, anywhere and any number of times for FREE. If you have multiple WILLs in multiple locations (or countries), you need not worry that your loved ones will not get the latest WILL. All you need to do is to login and update the records with the latest WILL location address.

Automatic Update: We understand that it may be a hassle or time consuming to update your loved ones every time you change your WILL location. Thus we are the first to offer you the option to update them automatically.

Cost Effective: GlobalWILLRegistry.com one-time registration rate is one of the most cost effective in the world. Others may charge double or treble the amount we charge. We have the economy of scale because we are a Global WILL Registry and not a national or state registry, thus we are able to pass the cost savings to you.



How do I obtain the WILL location from GlobalWILLRegistry.com?

You can use our free search facility to check our database for the Testator. If the result is positive, you can submit the Request WILL location form (a nominal fee is payable). Once the payment is approved, the information you requested will be displayed on the screen instantly and a copy of the WILL location will be sent to your email.



Why is registering my WILL location so important?

If your WILL cannot be found, it defeats the purpose of having a WILL. Many solicitors will tell you that there are many cases where WILLs are not executed because they cannot be found. It's becoming more common now, when more (either you or your loved ones) people are working and residing abroad. And it poses a challenge more than before, to find the latest WILL or track the WILL location.

E.g. My wife has 3 adult siblings - all married with children. I have 2 other adult siblings; married with children too. Together with our parents, our families have 29 members with 16 adults working and residing in 4 countries in 3 continents. It's almost impossible to track or update the WILL locations of each member. The WILL locations that were communicated to me were often forgotten within a few days or worse a few hours. But with GlobalWILLRegistry.com, all my family members know where to search for the WILL location easily if something happen. Besides, it costs very little to register at GlobalWILLRegistry.com.



Why should I register at GlobalWILLRegistry.com when I've done so with my local WILL registry?

I congratulate you for registering with your local WILL registry. It's the first step. Now, it's even more important that your loved ones know the CORRECT WILL registry that you registered in. A country may have several WILL registries (government and non-government) and even more State's WILL registries.

Most people are unable to recall the CORRECT WILL registry as years passed, especially in times of grief, stress and anxiety.

Common questions that grieving family members asked include:
- Where did she keep his WILL? Is it with a solicitor firm or a bank safe deposit box?
- She told me she has written a WILL, but did not mention where she kept it. Do you know?
- Should we check the National WILL registry or the State WILL registry?
- Which State registry should we check since she worked in several states?
- Did she deposit her WILL overseas since she worked overseas for many years?
- She may have changed her WILL several times, are you sure this is the latest?

We believe you want to know the latest WILL location of your loved one quickly, easily and efficiently and vice versa. We believe you do not want to spend time second guessing the name of the WILL registry.

Many people underestimate the tedious and strenuous process of locating the latest WILL. The easiest way to solve this problem is to register in a WILL registry that has high top of mind recall (regardless of country, state of residence or birth) or you can choose to registry in multiple WILL registries.

The name "Global WILL Registry" is self-explanatory and is the easiest to remember, even after many years. We are the First Global WILL Registry and the First Stop many will visit to locate the WILL location of their loved ones, regardless of citizenship or country of residence.

For greater peace of mind and top of mind recall, do register with GlobalWILLRegistry.com to complement your local WILL registry. Afterall, the one-time registration fee at GlobalWILLRegistry.com is very low and affordable.
