ABOUT

Welcome to Fennec Will Registry

Fennec Will Registry has been designed to help individuals, agents, administrators and executors locate records of where someone’s Will has been stored.

When a loved one passes away, finding their Will can add anxiety and confusion during a difficult time. Frequently, a loved one’s Will cannot be located, causing their estate to be administered according to Law, rather than their last wishes.

Fennec Will Registry is a central database where the location of someone’s Will can be found, be that in their home, with their broker/attorney or their chosen bank – to name a few locations. This system ensure that loved one’s Will can be located, and their estate can be administered in accordance with their last wishes.

For appointed executors or agents, it is critical to ensure that they administer the estate in accordance with the last Will and testament of the deceased to avoid future complications. Doing a database search to confirm the validity and recency of the Will should be step one in the administration process, and the Fennec Will Registry provides that service.

Simply type in your loved one or client’s ID number in the search bar and we will tell you where their Will is located and who to contact to gain access to the Will.
