Safe Storage
When you put your will in a 'safe place', you should consider the risk of the documents being lost or destroyed, or even stolen with other valuables. This is why a 'safe custody service' could be the answer. You should also consider keeping other valuable documents alongside your will:- |
Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Divorce Certificate, Driving Licence, Passport, National Insurance Number, Place of Work, Contact at work, Solicitor, Religious Advisor, Bank Accounts, Building Society Accounts, Post office Accounts, Pension Book, Pension Plans, Insurance Policies, Stocks and Shares, Savings Certificates, Premium Bonds, Private Club Accounts, Safety Deposit Boxes, List of Valuables, Insurance Certificates/Valuations, Bills Paid, Bills Unpaid, Hire Purchase Agreements, Rental Agreements, Court Orders, Money Owed, Money Owing, Accountant, Insurance Broker/Financial Advisor, Tax Office, Tax Number. |
This list is not meant to be exhaustive but indicates the huge task that we leave to our loved ones to deal with our affairs after death. Keep a note of the whereabouts of these items and write a letter to your next-of-kin or Executors and tell them where these items are located. |
| “Safe Custody” can make “Good Sense.” | |
