Most people think that once a will is signed, they can safely store it at home or in a private, secure area. Unfortunately, there are a several hazards associated with this that are often overlooked:
- Misplacement or Loss: Wills can easily be lost or misplaced, especially if they are stored in a place that is not well-documented. This could lead to legal complications, or worse, your estate might not be distributed in accordance to your wishes but rather under the Distribution Act 1958.
- Tampering or Damage: Wills stored at home are vulnerable to tampering, accidental damage (namely fire or water), or even intentional destruction. A person with a personal interest in the will could become involved, leading to unpleasant family disputes.
- Outdated Wills: If a will is stored personally, there’s a high chance that the family will discover an outdated copy, which could result in assets being distributed contrary to your latest wishes.
