Will Storage
It’s important that, once you have made it, your Will is stored somewhere safe and secure…and in a place where it can be easily retrieved by the Executor. Each year, many Wills are lost, destroyed or misplaced – meaning that all your efforts in writing your Will may have been for nothing. Storing yours properly could mean less stress for your loved ones at a time that they are least able to deal with it.
As part of the Will Writing Service offered by Skipton Trustees Limited (STL), we can arrange for all Wills to be stored, free of charge, in Skipton Building Society’s vault at their Principal Office. You will, of course, receive a copy to keep for reference but you will have the comfort of knowing that the original copy is safe and secure.
You will have access to your Will at any time, at no cost, should you wish to make amendments through the Will Writing Service. However, if it is to be amended or stored by another firm or solicitor there will be a retrieval fee charged.
If you wish to take advantage of our free Will Storage Service please ensure the appropriate box is ticked in the Additional Information Section of the Will Writing Instruction Form.
