Storage (£40 per year)

Why secure storage matters

Your original Will needs to be safe, recorded and retrievable.

Without the signed original, your executors may face delay, extra cost, or uncertainty about whether your wishes can be followed. If a Will was last known to be in the testator’s own possession and cannot be found after death, there can also be a presumption that it was intentionally destroyed to revoke it.

Professional storage helps reduce that risk. It keeps the signed original Will away from everyday loss, damage or accidental disposal, and creates a clear record of where it was held.

For LPAs, a lost or damaged original can usually still be dealt with, but it can mean extra paperwork, delay and cost at the worst possible time.

Why clients choose professional storage

Professional storage protects more than the paper. It helps your executors find the signed original quickly, proves where the Will was held, and reduces the risk of delay, dispute or avoidable expense.

It also keeps your important documents together, so your family is not left searching through drawers, files or old paperwork at the worst possible time.
