Families Have Lost Thousands… All Because One Document Couldn’t Be Found.
Most people make a will once… and then forget about it... But life doesn’t stand still, families grow, relationships change, and new priorities appear.
Without realising it, someone you no longer wish to benefit could still inherit from your estate, while others you’ve made verbal promises to might miss out completely.
Your planning should grow and adapt as your life does. Keeping it current ensures your loved ones inherit according to your true wishes, not an outdated document from years ago.
Having an up to date will is one thing… but what happens if it can’t be found when it’s needed? If the original, legally valid will is lost or destroyed, it’s treated as though no will exists. That can mean thousands of pounds in lost inheritance and loved ones left following the rules of intestacy instead of your wishes.
A copy will isn’t enough for the Probate Office, and trying to validate one can be costly and uncertain.
Sadly, families have faced heartbreak simply because a will was accidentally destroyed, misplaced during a house move, or even found by the wrong person. Instead of leaving love and clarity, it can leave confusion, disappointment, and in some cases, serious disputes.
When you complete your planning with me whether it’s your wills, lasting powers of attorney, or any other key Legal documents, our Secure Storage & Free Update Service provides lasting protection and complete peace of mind.
This service is included within many of our planning packages, meaning that once everything is in place, your documents are:
✅ Checked by our Head Office legal team to confirm it’s been correctly signed, dated, and witnessed
✅ Securely stored in purpose designed facilities and registered with Certainty, the national will register
✅ Released only to your appointed executors when the time comes, preventing unauthorised access
You’ll also have the freedom to make unlimited minor updates throughout the year, free of charge, so your planning always reflects your current wishes.
These updates might include:
1. Changes in Major life event, like marriage, divorce, or the birth of children or grandchildren.
2. Changes in financial circumstances, like acquiring new property, investments, or other assets.
3. Changes in relationships, like wanting to add or remove beneficiaries based on how personal relationships evolve.
4. Changes in the law, sometimes tax laws or inheritance laws change, and people want to adjust their will to stay aligned with new regulations.
Because the secure storage and free update service is built into your package, your planning doesn’t stand still, it grows with you. As life evolves, your will and legal affairs evolve too.
You’ll also benefit from annual company led reviews, giving you the reassurance that your documents remain accurate, effective, and ready for when they’re needed.
