For the Deputy's information, the establishment of a register of wills has been suggested on a number of previous occasions, including in a number of Private Members Bills. It is a matter that has previously been considered, including by my colleague the Minister for Social Protection, in the context of her responsibility for the General Register Office.
I understand that consultations with a number of stakeholders, including the Law Society, have identified important practical and legal obstacles to establishing such a mechanism. As a consequence establishment of a register is not currently under consideration.
