Will Storage and Updates

About

Storing your Will correctly and updating it when it's necessary.

 

Drafting a Will is a crucial step, but ensuring it is securely stored, easily accessible, and properly executed is equally important. Many individuals create a Will but fail to inform their Executors of its location, often due to fears of loss, damage, or tampering.

At Birchwood Legal, we understand these concerns and offer services designed to address them effectively:

  • On-Demand Will Reviews and Updates: Keep your Will current and reflective of your wishes. Birchwood Legal can update any Will governed by the laws of England and Wales.
  • Secure Storage and Retrieval: Safeguard your Will in our secure storage facility, ensuring it is protected and readily accessible when needed.
  • Executor Support: Provide your Executors with professional advice and guidance, alleviating their responsibilities during a challenging time.

Additional benefits include:

  • Registration with the UK National Will Register (Certainty): Ensuring your Will’s existence is known and searchable nationwide.
  • Free Retrieval of Your Original Will: Sent directly to you or your Executors upon request or presentation of a death certificate.

Having taken the time and expense to write a Will, it’s essential to ensure it stays up to date. Life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, or changes in assets can significantly impact the validity and relevance of your Will.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your options, Gary would be happy to help. With Birchwood Legal, you can have peace of mind knowing your Will is secure, accessible, and aligned with your current circumstances.
