Will Storage

You have made the sensible decision to make a Will. This document is vitally important in enabling you to leave clear instructions on how your estate is to be distributed, as well as explaining any specific wishes that you may want to follow once you have passed away.

The importance of the decisions that you have made means that you need to ensure that your Will is kept safe and secure. 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.

The original Last Will and Testament is the only document that will be legally accepted and it must be in pristine condition to ensure that there are no complications when following the wishes set out in it. Therefore, it is vital that your documents and are stored appropriately so that it meets the specific requirements of the Probate Courts when it is presented by your executor(s).

Unfortunately, families often encounter problems when it comes to acting upon the wishes of their loved ones. Understandably, many people don’t like to talk about their plans for later life which can lead to common issues such as:

· The family being unaware that a Will has been written in the first place

· The executors not knowing where the Will is stored

· Wills being stored inappropriately which can lead to them being damaged or lost.

Storing my Will at home is safe... isn't it?

Many people will understandably assume that the safest place to store their Will is within their home. However, what happens if the worse happens and your house is burgled, damaged by fire or flooded? What if the documents are mislaid during a move or clear out? Research by the Certainty Will register shows that the majority of family members (67%) wouldn’t know where their relative’s Will is stored at home.

Even if you do store the document in a safe and secure location, it will mean that the Will has not been included on the National Will Register. This is the UK-wide database of all Wills and is the first place that a legal professional will check should the executors not be able to locate the document themselves.
