Keeping your Will safe – Why is it important?

We all take care of the things that we treasure; we keep our money in the bank and jewels or other valuables in a safe or strongbox – so if you think about it, it makes perfect sense to store your Will in a secure and safe location as well.

Your Will is vitally important in enabling you to leave clear instructions on how your estate is to be distributed. If anything happens to your Will – or if your executor does not know where to find it – you may as well not have written one.

Your original Last Will and Testament is the only document that will be legally accepted and it must be in pristine condition to ensure that there are no complications when following the wishes set out in it.  It is vital that your documents are stored appropriately so that they meet the specific requirements of the Probate Court when they are presented by your executors.

It is also important to ask yourself what if the worst happened and your home was burgled or damaged by fire or flood?  Or what would happen if your documents were mislaid during a move or clear out?

We are able to provide a professional storage solution so that your Will is kept safe and in good condition. We take ownership and full responsibility for the lifetime storage of your Will, giving you one less thing to worry about. If you would like to find out more please get in touch.
