Will Storage

It is quite acceptable to keep your Will in a safe place at home.

However, if you were to die in a house fire and the Will was destroyed at the same time, then you would have died without a valid Will. If your Will is damaged in any way which could cast doubt on its intent, then the courts might deem it to be invalid. In addition, a large number of wills go missing or are fraudulently altered each year. In order to avoid this is it is advisable to keep your will in a secure fireproof deposit. If you opt to pay to store your documents with us, we have partnered with BePrepared (The Vault) to also provide you with a complimentary, secure and encrypted digital safe for all your digital assets.  

We offer two options for storing your Will;

Storage only

For a small annual fee, your Will is kept in our secure fireproof storage facility, registered on Certainty the National Will Register and access to a digital vault. Please notify your executors of the location of your Will so it can easily be retrieved in the event of your death.

Storage & updating

In addition to storing your Will, registering on the National Will Register and having access to a digital vault, the annual fee for this service covers any changes you wish to make to your Will whilst you maintain the facility without incurring additional expense.

 

Whatever you decide, it is important that your executors are informed about the storage arrangements.
