Will Storage

Keeping your Will safe – Why is Will Storage important?

The original Last Will and Testament is the only document that will be legally accepted and it must be in pristine condition to ensure that there are no complications. Therefore, we recommend that your Will is stored appropriately so that it meets the specific requirements of the Probate Courts when it is presented by your Executor(s).

Unfortunately, families often encounter problems when it comes to acting upon the wishes of their loved ones. Understandably, many people don’t like to talk about their plans for later life which can lead to common issues such as the family being unaware that a Will has been written in the first place, the Executors not knowing where the Will is stored or it is damaged or lost due to inappropriate storage.

Storing my Will at home is safe… isn’t it?

Many people will understandably assume that the safest place to store their Will is within their home. However, what happens if the worst happens and your house is burgled, damaged by fire or flooded? What if the documents are misplaced during a move or clear out? Research by the Certainty Will register shows that the majority of family members (67%) wouldn’t know where their relative’s Will is stored at home, meaning that having expert Will storage is more important than ever.

Even if you do store the document in a safe and secure location, it will mean that the Will has not been included on the National Will Register. This is the UK wide database of all Wills and is the first place that a legal professional will check should the Executors not be able to locate the document themselves.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following a bereavement, we contacted Laurelo for assistance with our probate application. The result was beyond all our expectations, a member of the team came to the house, walked us through the whole process step by step. Also answered any queries and offered guidance as we went through the various stages. They took all the drama out of it at a time when more drama was the last thing we needed. Thanks to Laurelo our Probate application was granted in under 6 weeks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My father passed in December and I was recommended Laurelo’s services. Right from the get go they were incredibly helpful, from the first in-person meeting to the very last email, the team at Laurelo did an amazing job. Everything was explained during the first meeting on how the process would go and all costs associated with the services, there were no surprises, no hidden costs or unexpected expenses. I would specially like to mention Lynn, her communication was on-point, she explained everything in great detail and ensured I understood all the processes that were occurring. She kept me up-to-date on everything and did an amazing job of supporting me through the entire process. I do not live in the U.K which added an extra complication to my situation but it did not stop the quality of service I received. Knowing I had an experienced team working with me during this challenging time was a great stress relief and I would highly recommend Laurelo if you require any probate services. Another thing to mention is that when I called after-hours on a weekend, it was the owner who answered the phone, which to me, shows the level of commitment to customer service and care they provide.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Laurelo have been amazingly helpful. We had been contacted by heir hunters who have appointed a very unhelpful solicitor. We approached Paul Radcliffe of Laurelo for independent advice and are so pleased we did. Paul and his colleagues have been kind, professional and supportive. We now understand the process and our rights so much better. I recommend Laurelo unreservedly and would use them again for any legal work.  They had been highly recommended in the first place by a relative who had engaged them for a non estate related issue as they had been equally impressed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Laurelo Ltd for their support throughout the Probate process. Stef has been incredibly helpful and reassuring from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble — she consistently went out of her way to answer any questions or resolve any issues, always responding promptly and with genuine care. Having this level of guidance made a difficult process far less stressful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again should the need arise.

After an initial conversation with Paul and the advice I received my application was successful. Thank you.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the team at Laurelo Solicitors, particularly Michael, for the advice and guidance he provided regarding my late mum’s probate. During what has been a very difficult and emotional time, Michael was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made the process feel much less overwhelming. His kindness and expertise were greatly appreciated, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laurelo Solicitors to anyone seeking probate or estate advice. Thank you again for your excellent service.
