Making a Will – Keep it Safe
Now that you have looked at how to make a Will it is a good idea to think about how you will store your Will. There are two important points to bear in mind. 1) Keep it safe and 2) Keep it where everyone can immediately find it when needed.
Giving it to a solicitor for safekeeping is a rally bad idea. Keep it safe in a fireproof cabinet or safe. They are available very cheaply from the DIY stores or similar places. Tell your Executors and family where your Will is and how top access it. You could also consider storing at some sort of safe document store or at the bank if you have access to Safe Deposit facilities. It might be easier for a husband and wife to keep each other’s Wills for easy access.
