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 stored securely 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.

Will Storage Cost

When you buy this product, you are paying for the first year of storage. We will set you up on an annual direct debit.
