2 Executor Cards Included
Every Will we prepare is registered and held in secure, professional storage with the SWW National Will Archive, so it's protected, correct, and easy to find exactly when your family needs it.
A Will kept at home in a drawer or filing cabinet is at real risk, from fire and flood to simple wear and tear and damage over time. Beyond the risk of loss, the Probate Registry can refuse to accept a Will that shows signs of damage or tampering, such as staple or paperclip marks, tears, or anything suggesting it may have been altered. In the worst cases, this can force an estate into intestacy as though no Will existed at all.
That's why every Will we prepare is placed into professional safe custody with the National Will Archive, the official storage arm of the Society of Will Writers, rather than left at risk at home.
Your original Will is held safely, protected from fire, flood, wear and tear, and loss.
Your Will's existence and location are recorded on the National Will Register, so it can always be found.
Official confirmation your Will has been received, checked, and placed into secure storage.
Two wallet-sized cards for your named executors, confirming where your Will is held.
Once your Will is placed into storage, you'll receive a safe custody certificate confirming it has been checked and securely archived. It's your record that your wishes are protected and exactly where to point your executors when the time comes.
Each of your named executors receives a small wallet-sized card confirming your Will is held in safe custody and how to locate it, one less thing for them to have to work out during a difficult time.
Additional or replacement cards: £6 eachYour named executor contacts Swift Legacy directly, using the details on their executor card.
Because your Will is registered and its storage location recorded, it's located quickly, with no guesswork.
The original is released to your executor so probate and estate administration can proceed without unnecessary delay.
Registration of your Will and storage is free for the first 12 months. Your safe custody certificate and two executor cards are also free. After that, continued storage is available through Legacy Protection Membership or a standalone Storage Renewal.
