Will storage and aftercare
Your Will is one of the most important documents you will ever own, so it’s vital that you take care of it properly. While it won’t serve much of a purpose while you’re alive, when you’re dead, your Will will ensure your estate and assets are divided up as you see fit, and your final wishes are carried out. However, if your Will can’t be found or retrieved after your death or appears to have been tampered with, it could be deemed null and void in the eyes of the law.
In this case, your estate will be administered according to the Rules of Intestacy, and your wishes or instructions may not be carried out. It could mean the people you want to benefit from your estate – your spouse, partner or children – could miss out on what’s due to them. So, if you’ve gone to the trouble of having a Will drawn-up, making sure it is safely and securely secured can save your loved ones a lot of stress, hassle and heartache at an already difficult time. That’s where we can help.
Why do I need Will storage & aftercare?
If your Will is lost, damaged, stolen or tampered with, it may no longer be valid when you die. If this happens, the Rules of Intestacy will come into play to determine how your estate is administered, and this could mean your loved ones miss out on any inheritance you’d like them to receive. It could mean your property, cash, and assets go to people other than your nominated beneficiaries or inherited by the Crown.
So, making sure your loved ones and your estate administrators know where your Will is, so they can retrieve it when you die, is essential. Our storage service can help take the stress and uncertainty of retrieving your Will away from your family, so you can be sure that your wishes can be carried out as you had planned when the time comes. It will be insured and stored in a secure, fire and flood-proof facility, with a computer backup for additional peace of mind. It will also be recorded on the National Will Register, with certificates given to your executors with details of where it is stored and how it can be retrieved when necessary.
We can also store other vital documents, including Lasting Powers of Attorney and property deeds, for added protection and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
