Document Storage
DID YOU KNOW?
40% of people lose their Will or pass away and their Will can’t be located.
Your Will is perhaps one of the most important legal document you will ever have. However, in order for your last wishes to be properly carried out, first your most recent Will has to be found!
If your Will can’t be located or has been misplaced you will be classed as dying intestate – without a Will, so it is important to keep your documents safe and secure.
ESSENTIAL STORAGE
The whole package costs just £40 a year. This is a small price to pay for peace of mind, knowing your documents are safe and secure against loss, fire and theft. We also offer free storage if you choose to name APS Legal as an Executor in your Will.
HOW WILL MY EXECUTORS KNOW WHERE MY WILL IS?
We will provide you and up to four executors with a storage certificate.
This storage certificate includes your full name and what documents we have stored as well as our contact details and your individual storage reference number so your document can be easily located.
You will also be provided with a Will Registry certificate from Certainty.
WILL REGISTRY
Will Registration is also proven to protect the Testator's beneficiaries by ensuring that their Will can be found and their last wishes adhered to.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PASS AWAY OR IF I NEED MY DOCUMENTS OUT OF STORAGE?
If you need your documents out of storage we will ask you to provide us with your request in writing including Identification, so that we know it is you and payment to remove the documents.
When you pass away we will only release your documents to an Executor who must provide the request in writing, with identification and a death certificate – this is free of charge.
