Bill Summary
This bill repeals the law establishing the optional will registry, P.L.2005, c.97 (C.3B:3-2.1 and 3B:3-2.2). The law provides that a person making a will or the person's attorney could register information concerning the location of the will with the will registry, which is maintained by the Secretary of State. The information in the will registry would include the name of the person making the will, the date the will was made, and sufficient identification of the location of the will at the time of registration. The will registry does not keep a copy of the will itself. It is the sponsors' view that the statute is not useful and causes unnecessary additional work for surrogates.
AI Summary

The will registry allowed individuals or their attorneys to register information about the location of their will with the Secretary of State, but did not store a copy of the will itself. The sponsors believe the registry is not useful and creates unnecessary work for surrogates.
