Sample estate — demo data, no sign-up.
MFI — Will registration (richer v4)
Springboard: ../public/52-will-registration.html. Richer: the conversion + legal endpoint — will-status lifecycle, secure storage, executor notifications, what-happens-next, trust promise. Two tabs: Registered (E&W, confirmed) and Not yet registered (Scotland RoS guidance). Sensitive tone throughout.

On file
Each person sees only what they need to. Your executors are told where the will is kept and how to find it — never the contents while you are alive.
🔒 Our promise. You will never be charged automatically. Registering and keeping your will costs nothing more — the £4.95 register fee was part of your one-off plan with Hoole & Pemberton Solicitors. We'll always ask before anything is paid for.

Will of Alastair James Grant

Register of Deeds (Books of Council & Session)
Registers of Scotland · Scottish Government · running since 1554
Not registered
The safest choice in Scotland: the Register of Deeds keeps the actual original will (not just a note that it exists). Once it's registered, the will can't be lost, damaged, or tampered with. Cost: £10 to register, plus a certified copy.
How it works — we'll guide each step
  1. 1Print and sign your will, if you haven't already.
  2. 2MFI prepares the covering letter for you, with your details filled in.
  3. 3Post the original will and letter to Registers of Scotland.
  4. 4They keep the original safe and send you a certified copy.
  5. 5Keep that certified copy — it counts the same as the original.
One thing to know: Registers of Scotland doesn't offer an online sign-up, so this part is done by post. We make it simple — we prepare the letter and tell you exactly where to send it.
National Will Register
Operated by OneAdvanced · also available in Scotland
Not registered
The National Will Register works in Scotland too. It records that your will exists (but doesn't keep the original, unlike the Register of Deeds). For the strongest protection, you can use both.
🔒 Our promise. You will never be charged automatically. The £10 register fee is paid directly to Registers of Scotland, in your own time. We'll always show you the cost and ask first — nothing happens behind your back.
🔎
A note for executors: when the time comes, search both the National Will Register and the Register of Deeds. A newer will always replaces an older one. How to search for a will →
Not ready today? That's completely fine. Your will is uploaded and safe. We'll keep it here for whenever you want to come back.

Built on INHERIT v2

This demo is built on INHERIT v2 — an open standard for describing an estate. We show you honestly which parts of this screen the standard can hold today, which are planned, and which are still gaps.

  • Supported now1 entriesThe standard already has a place for this today.
  • Supported now · shared core0 entriesSupported by the part of the standard shared across our brands.
  • Planned2 entriesA change proposal covers this. Where we can check the standard’s own record, we show its status.
  • Gap — needs planning0 entriesOn the screen, but no change proposal covers it yet. These still need planning.
  • Not a standard concept1 entriesPage furniture, or something we decided the standard should not hold.

4 traced entries on this screen, from two overlapping traces

Each entry comes from either the screen’s feature list or the data the screen displays. The two traces overlap, so one feature can appear twice: these are entries, not a count of distinct features.

  • PlannedSecure storage and executor notification

The 30 change proposals this demo relies on

A change proposal (ICP) is a tracked request to extend the standard. These are the ones behind the “Planned” features across all 32 screens — and the few already adopted and built. Where the standard has a written proposal we show its status from the standard’s own record; where it does not, we say so rather than guess.
