Secure Document Storage

A place for everything and everything in its place…….

We all take care of things that we treasure. We keep our money in banks, jewels or other valuables perhaps in a safe, or strongbox, so it makes perfect sense to keep your Will which concerns all of your treasures in a safe place too.

Making a Will is stage one and once it has been executed, stage two is to ensure that the original is stored securely and that it can be located when the time comes. If your original Will gets lost or accidentally destroyed your estate will be treated as if you had not made a Will at all – and all the devastating consequences of  intestacy will follow, as a copy cannot be admitted for probate.

You can store your Will at home – but you risk it being lost or stolen, and it may not remain completely confidential!  Storing your Will with a local solicitor or bank could be the answer, but this can be inconvenient, costly and if you move out of the area, it can be very difficult for your executors to find it.

We can offer all of our clients secure document storage which will include supplying leaflets to your executors so that, come the day, they know where to go to get your Will without having to search for your ‘safe place’.
