Will storage
LegalPath Will Storage
The original document that you have just signed and paid for is the only legally binding version of the Will. Scans, photocopies and computer records are not legally valid because they don’t have your original signature on them.
The original Will is your only Will
and must be kept safely.
One place you should never keep an original Will is at home. If you have a fire, flood or burglary, you risk losing your Will. If your Will is damaged in any way, then the courts could declare the Will invalid.
You must keep your Will in a secure place, however that place must be easily accessible when the document is needed!

Specialist Document Facility
Your Will and any other relevant legal documents, such as a Power of Attorney, are kept in a waterproof wallet in a specialist document archive facility.
Fully Insured
While your documents are with us they are fully insured against loss or damage. If anything happens to your documents, they will be recreated and replaced for you, free of charge.
If your Will is lost or damaged after your death, or a loss or damage only comes to light after your death, then your executors are insured (for up to £2 million) to compensate your estate and its beneficiaries for any losses they occur as a result of there being no legally valid will.
Plastic Cards for Executors
We will provide you with plastic identity cards for you and your executors. They display your name, a unique storage reference number and our contact details.
Easy Accessibility
You can access your documents at any time-free of charge. The documents can be returned directly to you, using an insured delivery service. When your executors need to access your Will, all they need to do is provide us with a death certificate and proof of their identity.
The location of your documents will be registered free of charge on the national Wills register.
