A Last
Will and Testament (Will) is an extremely important legal document
which is your legal declaration about how you want your estate distributing
after your death and who you want to deal with your affairs. If
you have taken the trouble to write your Will, presumably you want
to ensure it is found.
Statistically
70% of the British population die without leaving a valid Will.
If you want to ensure your Will is safely stored and its location
registered on the National Wills Register, then contact us.
If there
is one place you should never, ever, keep an original Will, it is
at home. If anything should happen to you in a house fire and your
Will went up in smoke with you, then you haven't got a Will.
If your
Will is damaged in any way which could cast doubts as to the contents
of the Will or raise questions as to why the damage was done, then
the courts could throw your Will out as being invalid.
You
need to keep your Will in a place that's safe and secure. However,
that place should not be so safe and secure that no one can find
it when it's needed!
The
National Will Safe Document Storage facility is a unique national,
central, storage facility for Wills that overcomes all of the problems
of safely caring for important legal documents, for a small annual
fee.
Your
Will is kept in a waterproof wallet in a specialist document archive
facility. While it is stored, it is fully insured so that if it
is lost or damaged while you are alive, then it will be replaced
for you, free of charge.
If
your Will is lost or damaged after your death, or its loss or damage
only comes to light after your death, then your Executors are insured
(for up to £2million) to compensate your estate and its beneficiaries
for any losses that they incur as a result of there being no legally
valid Will.
You can
access your document at any time - free of charge. The document
can be returned to your Will writer for updating or directly to
you, using an insured delivery service.
When
your Executors need to access the documents, once they have provided
a death certificate and proof of their identity, your documents
will be returned to them - free of charge, using an insured delivery
service.
National
Will Safe will provide you with plastic identity cards for you and
your Executors with your name and a unique Identity Number and contact
telephone number.
When
you or your Executors need to access the Will, simply telephone
the contact number and we will arrange the return of your Will to
a convenient address.
The
location of your documents will be registered free of charge on
the National
Wills Register a national register of Wills and their location.
