Will Storage Service — the Safe Will Plan
Your Will kept safe, accessible and up to date — from just £3 a month.
Why your original Will needs a safe home
The original signed copy of your Will is the one that counts. If it can’t be found after you die, the law presumes you destroyed it deliberately to cancel it — a rule called the presumption of revocation (“revoking” simply means cancelling). That can leave your loved ones falling back on the intestacy rules (the fixed legal order of who inherits when there’s no valid Will) instead of following your actual wishes.
Moving house, renting, sharing a home, or simply having nowhere truly secure for important papers all put your Will at risk. The Safe Will Plan takes that worry away: send us your signed Will and we’ll keep it in our organised, fireproof cabinet.
Storing your Will is as easy as 1, 2, 3
Storing your Will with us is simple — here’s how it works, from start to safely stored.
Send us your Will
Once your Will is signed, post it to our team and we’ll place it in our fireproof storage cabinet.
Keep your copy
We give you a password-protected digital copy to keep and share with your executors (the people you’ve chosen to carry out your wishes), so your Will is easy to reach whenever it’s needed.
Yearly review reminder
Each year we’ll check whether anything’s changed and update your Will if needed — so it always reflects your wishes.

Why choose the Safe Will Plan
The crucial version, kept safe
the original signed Will is the one that legally counts, protected from loss, fire and damage.
Ready for your executors
straightforward release when it's needed, making probate easier.
A trusted, professional service
written by a full member of the Society of Will Writers, working to their Code of Practice.
Easy access, any time
a password-protected copy for you and your executors, whenever you need it.
Real peace of mind
your Will is safe, findable and up to date, for less than the price of a coffee each month.
Reviewed every year
a free annual review and reminder, so your Will keeps pace with your life.
Easy access whenever you need it
We keep your original safe, and your password-protected copy means you can check your Will whenever you like — to be sure it still matches your wishes. Lose your copy? We’ll simply send you another.
Making probate easier for your executors
When the time comes, your executors need to reach your Will quickly to settle your estate (the legal process known as probate). Just share our details with them — they contact us, show the death certificate and suitable ID, and we release your Will straight to them.
Free guide: keeping your Will safe and up to date
Not sure which plan is right for you? Our free Storage & Updates Starter Guide explains, in plain English, how to keep your Will safe, accessible and properly up to date — covering both the Safe Will Plan and the Legacy Care Plan.
Want easy updates too? Meet the Legacy Care Plan
The Safe Will Plan keeps your Will safe and reviewed every year. If you’d also like your updates handled for you, our Legacy Care Plan is the tier up — it adds a minor update each year and a brand-new Will every three years, so your Will never falls out of date.
Part of your wider estate planning
Storing your Will safely is one part of a well-organised estate plan. You’ll need a valid Will in place first — and many clients also set up a Lasting Power of Attorney, so someone they trust can act for them if they ever can’t. Will storage is part of our full estate planning service, so everything works together.
Will storage — your questions answered
No — but it’s one of the safest choices you can make. The original signed copy is the one that legally counts, and if it’s lost or damaged the law may treat your Will as cancelled. Professional storage keeps it protected and easy to find when it’s needed.
The law presumes you destroyed it on purpose to revoke (cancel) it. Your estate could then be shared out under the intestacy rules — the default legal order of who inherits — which may look very different from your actual wishes.
Simply share our contact details with them. When needed, they get in touch, show us the death certificate and suitable ID, and we release your Will to them — making probate that bit easier.
Yes. Every plan includes a free annual review and a yearly reminder. If you’d like your updates handled for you as well, the Legacy Care Plan adds a minor update each year and a new Will every three years.
The Safe Will Plan is £3 a month for a single Will (£36 a year) or £5 a month for a couple (£60 a year), billed annually.
Not at all. We’re happy to store a Will made elsewhere — and as part of your plan we’ll review it each year to help keep it current.
