Don’t Risk Losing Your Will
Reasons to have your Will Professionally Stored
It’s often a misconception that any copy or even a scanned digital copy of your will is legally valid.
Copy Wills are not legally valid, so if your signed Will is lost or destroyed it is treated as though you had not made a Will. In other words, you are considered to have died intestate.
Your Will ought to be stored in a secure location to avoid it getting lost or inadvertently destroyed.
Going to all the trouble making valid Wills along with Estate Planning, Trusts, and Last Powers Of Attorney only to not have a valid Will to produce at the right time is far from ideal, that’s why Will-Desk has made secure storage available to all it’s clients at £25 per annum (This includes Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, property deeds and so on)
