Nationwide Will Storage
Following the completion of your Will, we recommend that you store it in a safe, fire proof place. But you need to ensure that when you die it can be found. If your will cannot be found then your estate may be distributed as if you were intestate.
Keeping your Wills Safe in Secure Storage
Once we have completed the writing of your Will and it has been signed and witnessed, it must remain valid and safe until the time comes when it is needed, however many years later. There are however a number of things that could invalidate your Will along the way. Pen marks in the wrong place, a tear or damage of some sort, loss of the Will or just simply your executors are unable to find it after your death.
