Whether confirming the existence of a will, carrying out broader due diligence investigations or supporting estate protection measures, our services are designed to provide greater clarity and confidence.

Legacy Vault Search

A Legacy Vault Search helps determine whether a will has been securely stored or registered through the VERAFI Legacy Vault system.

This service can help executors and professionals identify whether testamentary documents may exist before proceeding with administration decisions.

Suitable for:

• Initial estate enquiries
• Executor investigations
• Probate verification
• Estate administration support

National Will Search

Our broader will search services help support more comprehensive estate due diligence investigations where the existence or location of a will is uncertain.

Searches may include:

• Registered will databases
• Verification searches
• Geographical search options

This service is particularly valuable where:

• No will has been located
• Family circumstances are unclear
• There are concerns regarding previous wills
• Executors require wider due diligence evidence

Section 27 notices can assist personal representatives by providing statutory notice to potential creditors during the administration process.
