Why It Matters

A duty fulfilled, and a family protected

A will you can't find is a will that can't be honoured. Registering it closes that gap — for your faith and for your family.

An Islamic obligation

Leaving a will is part of your deen

The Prophet ﷺ taught that a Muslim with something to bequeath should not let it wait. Documenting your wishes — and making sure they can be found — is how that trust is kept. Registering your will turns good intention into a safeguarded record.

The legal risk

An unfound will is "presumed revoked"

Wills drafted years ago get lost — lawyers retire, firms close, families move. When the original can't be located, the law may presume it was revoked, and the estate is divided by a default government formula that rarely reflects Islamic inheritance or your intentions.

How It Works

Three simple steps

From registering your will to a family member locating it years later — the whole process is designed to be quick, clear, and dependable.

Register your will

Tell us that your will exists, where the original is kept, and who to contact. It takes just a few minutes to complete.

We safeguard the record

Your will's existence and location are logged in Canada's Islamic Will Registry, ready to be found whenever it's needed.

Family or executor searches

When the time comes, a registry search locates the will and produces a Search Certificate proving due diligence. Anyone may request one; results are emailed within 5–10 business days, free.

Questions

Frequently asked

We record that your will exists, where the original is kept, and how to reach you — so it can always be located. You keep the original document itself with your lawyer, at home, or wherever you choose.

This is legal information only. For advice on your own circumstances, speak to a lawyer. The Islamic Will Registry records wills and their location; it does not draft them.

Anyone may run a search — we do not require proof of death or proof that you are the executor. In practice it is executors, family and lawyers administering an estate. A search tells you whether a registered will exists and produces a Search Certificate for probate. Results take 5 to 10 business days and are emailed to you. There is no charge.

It's documentation that a diligent search of the registry was performed. Executors can use it to demonstrate due diligence. It is free.

Both are free. Registering a will costs nothing, and so does a registry search. There are no subscriptions or recurring fees.
