95E—Wills register

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.
