Secure Storage and Aftercare Plan

What happens to my Will after it is signed?:

You can keep the documents yourself at home. If you choose this option then it is vital to keep the document in a fire proof safe and ensure that the document does not incur any damage of any kind. It is also vital that your executors are informed where the documents are kept. However, it is very important that your Will is kept up to date and that it is protected from fire, theft and damage, which could otherwise destroy and/or invalidate them. It is also recommended that you contact us to have a review of your Will(s) every 3 years. This is partly because your circumstances may have changed but also because annual changes in Government legislation, can mean that some of the initial advice we offered you is now not the best advice for you and your circumstances. 

 

The majority of our customers thus choose to ensure that their Wills remain safe and that updates are kept more affordable, by choosing our Secure Storage and Aftercare Plan. The plan is very affordable as works as shown below.

Secure Storage and Aftercare Plan

Our secure storage service helps to protect your Will and other documents once they have been produced. The signed original version of your document(s) is kept in a secure legal document storage facility to protect them from fire, theft and damage which could otherwise destroy them and / or invalidate them. As part of this service, you receive a bound copy of your Will(s) to keep at home for reference purposes. Many Wills upon death cannot be located and so they cannot be executed but with our secure storage this is not an issue because your details are entered onto a national database for Wills called ‘Certainty’ so that should your executors for any reason not be able to locate your Will(s) they will be able to find it via this database. As an add on to this service you receive a 20% reduction off the price of a new Will whenever you need to update it.
