Public service isn’t always visible, but it’s always felt.

At the Register of Wills for Anne Arundel County, putting people first isn’t just something we say, it’s something we do every single day. And sometimes, that service reaches far beyond our county lines.

Last June, our Register, Jasmine M. Jackson, launched a Safekeeping Project focused on reviewing and removing outdated Wills from our vault, specifically those belonging to individuals who are no longer Anne Arundel County residents or whose documents are more than 30 years old.

Since then:
• 462 Prior Wills tied to previously opened estates in other jurisdictions have been identified and removed from safekeeping (June 2025–present)
• 894 letters have been mailed (August 2025–March 5, 2026) to individuals who have moved out of Maryland or have decades-old Wills on file

The response has been a reminder of why this work matters. One former resident, now living in Delaware, shared:
“Thank you Jasmine, what a tremendous service this is!”

That’s what public service looks like.

If you'd like more information on our Safekeeping Program, or replacing your old Will with your updated Will, please contact our office.

Whether you’re a current resident or someone we’ve served in the past, our office remains dedicated to supporting you with care, compassion, and integrity, every step of the way.

WAY to GO Wednesday! 🌟🤩
We are honored to receive a kind commendation from a constituent who recently navigated court proceedings.

Court can be difficult—no matter the situation. Even the most carefully planned estates, with or without a Will, can find their way into the court process. Add in complex family dynamics, and it can feel overwhelming.

One thing we can always promise is this: our staff will meet you with compassion, patience, and care—and with the accurate information you need to move forward. We are committed to guiding you through each step of the process to the best of our ability, in accordance with the law.

Thank you for trusting us to serve you during some of life’s most challenging moments.

We are grateful to receive this thoughtful thank you from Operation Christmas Child! 💚📦

It was an honor to support a mission that brings joy and hope to children around the world. Knowing that the Register of Wills for Anne Arundel County contributed to such an incredible global effort—reaching millions of children—is truly inspiring.

Community service isn’t always publicized, and much of the work happens quietly behind the scenes—but that doesn’t make it any less impactful. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, helps change lives.

Thank you to all of our employees who helped donate towards 10 boxes for children in need. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference, one shoebox at a time. ✨
