Recommendations of Wills Solicitors Bolton Regarding Storing Wills

By leaving behind a Will, you make sure that your estate is distributed within your friends and family as per your preferences. However, after writing a Will you should also make sure that you leave it in a safe place so that it may be recovered after your death. The following article mentions the recommendations of Wills Solicitors Bolton regarding the different ways to store a will.

With a Probate Registry:-

This is a very common option in which you can send your Will in a sealed envelope to the Will Storage Department at the Probate Registry. You might have to pay a one off fee but rest assured your Will not be revealed  until either you ask for it or your executer asks for it after your death.

Leaving it with Wills Solicitors Bolton:-

Often leaving the Will with the solicitors who wrote it is a good option too. Some solicitors do this by default, when they keep the original with themselves and hand you a copy. Most solicitors charge a certain amount for taking on this responsibility. There are others who offer this service for free as well, as they expect to charge you for probate services after you die.

Storage in a Bank:-

Some banks offer storage facilities for Wills. However, Wills Solicitors Bolton recommend that you carefully consider the banks policies before making use of these facilities. Problems may occur if the bank will not hand over the Will to the executor without a Grant of Probate, and the Grant of Probate cannot be issued without the Will. Make sure that you address this deadlock situation before storing your Will in a bank.
