Keeping your Will safe – Why is it important?

We all take care of 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.

Many people will understandably assume that the safest place to store their Will is within their house but research shows that the majority of family members (67%) wouldn’t know where their relative’s Will is stored at home.

It is also important to ask yourself, what happens if the worst took place – your house is burgled or damaged by fire or flood?  Or what happens if the documents are mislaid during a move or clear out?

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 doesn’t know where to find it, you may as well not have written one.

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