If your will were to be damaged in any way, the courts could declare the will invalid. We offer safe and secure storage of your legal documentation in digital and paper form.
WHAT IS WILL STORAGE?
Storing your will with us will give you peace of mind that it is secure and can be easily found when the time is right. It means that you don’t need to worry about it being lost or stolen, if ever something were to happen to your will then you would have the right to recourse.
HOW DO I RETRIEVE MY WILL?
As part of our ongoing support to our clients, we offer a wills storage facility in our secure archive. You can retrieve your will at any point to review it, amend it or destroy it.
In particular, if the person who made the will no longer has mental capacity and now has a court-appointed Deputy or someone with Lasting Power of Attorney acting for them, the Deputy or Attorney can in certain situations request a copy of the person’s will. To release a copy will, we would need to see:
- an original or certified copy Deputyship Order or an original or certified copy registered Lasting Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs plus a medical certificate confirming the person’s loss of capacity
We can only release the will of a person who has passed away to the executor or administrator of their estate.
Should you wish to retrieve your will our team will confirm the appropriate release procedure to you.

PROBATE
Probate is the legal right to deal with someone's property, money and possessions when they die. If the person who died left a will, this explains what should happen to their estate.
INHERITANCE TAX
Inheritance tax is a tax on the 'estate' of someone who's passed away. How much you pay depends on the value of the deceased's estate – which is valued based on their assets, minus any debts.
TRUSTS
Using a trust can give you peace of mind that your chosen beneficiaries will inherit from your estate. The benefits can include reducing the care fees payable to the local authority and have tax advantages.
