Will Storage in Rochdale

Keep Your Will and Legal Documents Safe

Will storage gives you a secure way to protect your original Will and other important legal documents.

Although many people keep their Will at home, problems can arise if the document becomes lost, damaged or difficult to find.

For example, fire, flood, burglary, moving house or accidental shredding can all put important paperwork at risk.

As a result, secure Will storage can give you and your loved ones greater peace of mind.

At Wills & Wishes Legal, Fiona Daly arranges safe storage for your Will and other key legal documents.

Therefore, your original documents stay protected and your loved ones know where to find them when needed.

After making your Will, you need to decide where to keep the original document.

Usually, your executors will need the original Will after you die.

Therefore, they need to know where it is stored and how to access it.

At home, your Will may feel convenient to store, but it can also create risk.

Over time, important documents can move, disappear or suffer damage.

In addition, loved ones may struggle to find the correct paperwork at an already difficult time.

Why Use a Will Storage Service?

A professional Will storage service helps keep your original documents safe, organised and easier to locate.

Instead of storing your Will in a drawer, cupboard or filing box at home, you can place it in a secure storage facility.

As a result, your executors have a clearer route to finding the document when the time comes.

Because Wills & Wishes Legal can store other important legal documents alongside your Will, your paperwork can stay together.

Also, your loved ones do not have to search several places for important documents.

As a result, the process can feel simpler for them in the future.

Why Store Your Will with Wills & Wishes Legal?

Wills & Wishes Legal offers a clear and practical Will storage service.

Fiona arranges for your documents to be checked, scanned and stored securely.

You receive a paper copy of your Will and a certificate of safe custody.

In addition, retrieval cards help the right people find your documents when needed.

As part of the service, Wills & Wishes Legal can also register your Will with Certainty, the National Will Register, at no extra charge.

If your executors or beneficiaries know a Will exists but cannot find it, the register can help them locate the storage details.

Similarly, if someone forgets where the Will has been stored, the register can point them in the right direction.

Certainty, the National Will Register

Certainty, the National Will Register, helps people locate registered Wills.

However, it does not make your Will public. Instead, the register records the storage details.

In this way, your original document and its location stay protected during your lifetime.

After your death, authorised people can use the register to find the correct storage information.

Fixed Annual Will Storage Cost

Wills & Wishes Legal offers Will storage for a fixed annual cost.

Because the cost is fixed, you know what you are paying each year.

Over time, storing several documents together can make the service even more useful.

After your first year, Fiona can help you set up a simple annual standing order.

As a result, your storage arrangement can continue without you needing to remember separate payments.
