Storing your Will
Keeping your Will and Other Documents Safe and Valid
Once your Will is signed and witnessed, that is not the end of the story. It is essential that your Will is stored in a safe place.
Any of the following events can result in your Will being invalidated:-
- If it is lost, it is presumed that you revoked it by destroying it;
- If it is destroyed by flood or fire, and not re-made, it is presumed to have been revoked;
- If it is scribbled on or damaged – even if you spill coffee on it! -it is presumed that you have revoked it by defacement;
- If there are marks on it indicating that another document was at some time stapled or paper-clipped to it, it is presumed that you intended to change your will by incorporating the contents of another document.
We can help you keep your Will undamaged and accessible, by storing your Will and associated documents in a secure, fire-proof facility.
We give you a copy of the Will and associated documents to keep with your personal papers, together with written instructions as to how your will can be retrieved, so that you and your executors or attorneys can access the documents at any time.
To retrieve your documents, all you must do is call us, and we will arrange for the Will and other documents to be delivered to you within one working day.
Our storage service is complimentary for all our clients.

"As an engaged couple with a portfolio of rental properties, we wanted to make sure that we were both well provided for if anything ever happened to one of us, and we were also worried about Inheritance Tax. Our financial advisor recommended that we seek advice from Will Written. Gina was very organised and reassuring. She explained everything to us very clearly. We know where we stand and we found out a lot that we didn't know before. Having made our wills, we feel we have nothing to worry about, we are happy that we have been sensible and haven't put off making our wills unnecessarily. "
