Creating a Will is undoubtedly a crucial step in securing your legacy. However, equally important is ensuring its safe storage. At A.D.E Wills, we understand the significance of protecting your final wishes and making them easily accessible when the time comes. Let’s explore why proper Will storage matters and how we can help you achieve peace of mind.
Why Will Storage Matters
First and foremost, it’s essential to understand that a lost or damaged Will can be considered destroyed. Consequently, this could result in your estate being distributed according to intestacy rules rather than your wishes. Therefore, proper storage protects against loss, damage, and unauthorised alterations, ultimately ensuring your legacy is preserved exactly as you intend.
Moreover, storing your Will in a safe place isn’t just about physical protection; it’s about ensuring that your final wishes are respected and can be easily located when needed. Surprisingly, many people underestimate the importance of proper Will storage. However, it can make a significant difference in how smoothly your estate is handled after your passing.

At A.D.E Wills, we offer a comprehensive Will writing service that goes beyond just drafting documents. Our process begins with a personal consultation with a professional Will writer and estate planner. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your specific needs and circumstances in detail. As a result, this tailored approach ensures that your Will accurately reflects your wishes and considers all aspects of your estate.

The Certainty Will Register
