If a register of wills made in this State is maintained by the Society, a
legal practitioner does not breach a duty of confidentiality owed by the
practitioner to a client for whom the practitioner has prepared a will merely
by publishing on the register, without the client's consent, the name and date
of birth of the client or the date of the will, provided that—
(a) the
will was made before the commencement of this section; and
(b) the
practitioner has been unable to contact the client despite having taken
reasonable steps to do so for the purpose of obtaining the client's consent to
publication of the information.
