Secure Wills Storage

Safeguard Your Legacy with National Will Safe Document Storage

When it comes to important legal documents like Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, only the original, signed copies are legally valid. Scans, photocopies, or digital versions cannot be used in court — because they do not bear your original signature.

That’s why proper storage of these documents is essential.

Why Safe Storage Matters

Your original Will is the only version that will be recognised by law. If it is lost, damaged, or destroyed — even by something as simple as a coffee stain or a torn page — the courts may declare it invalid. This can cause serious complications and distress for your loved ones.

Never Store Your Will at Home

Storing your Will at home puts it at risk of:

Fire or flood damage
Burglary or theft
Accidental loss or deterioration

Even if your Will isn’t lost but can’t be found when it’s needed, it’s as good as gone in the eyes of the law.
