What is Will Check?
A long period of time often passes between someone making a will and someone else needing to retrieve it. Lawyers changing offices, moving, retiring, or leaving the practice of law can complicate the process of locating and retrieving a will. Will Check stores information on the location of wills to assist with this problem. We do not currently store any wills documents themselves.
Will Check is maintained by the County of Carleton Law Association, and is currently for use by licensed lawyers only.
