The Pros and Cons of Storing a Will, Courtesy of Wills Solicitors Manchester

There isn’t one particular way of storing a will after you have created one; however, you can choose the method that is most appropriate for you. You can store your will in anyone of the following ways:-

-          Leaving it with Wills Solicitors Manchester:-

o   Usually when solicitors write your will, they keep the original with themselves free of charge and give you a copy. However, it is important that you make sure that your solicitor does the same. You may ask solicitors to store your will even if they didn’t originally write it, for which they might charge a fee.

§  The Pros:-

·         Solicitors are regulated they are accountable if your Will is lost.

§  The Cons:-

·         Storing your Will with Wills Solicitors Manchester who did not write your Will requires a fee.

-          Storing your Will with a Will Writing Service:-

o   If you use a Will Writing Service they can store your will as well for additional charges of course.

§  The Pros:-

·         May cost less than solicitor. But this is not always the case, be sure to confirm these details before you get involved.

§  The Cons:-

·         They may not be regulated and your will may be less protected in case the business went out of business. Make sure you confirm what happens under such circumstances and always have a copy for yourself.
