We check and scan all documents and provide your clients with a certificate of safe storage with 2 retrieval cards. Affordable Storage Solution We offer a low-cost, simple and secure solution for document storage and you can even pass these costs onto your client (usually £30-£40 per year) to provide you and your business with additional income. Who can retrieve the Will and how? Either the client or the member can retrieve the Will and we’ll provide a handy retrieval form for you to do this. If the client requests the Will we will need either the signed retrieval form or a letter from them for security reasons. If the retrieval is due to a death we will also need a copy of the death certificate from the Executor which will be kept on file. Property Deed Retrieval The ‘old style’ traditional deeds are always sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we will invoice the client directly if the deeds have been requested for any reason other than death. Upon death the deeds will be sent with the Will free of charge. Certainty The National Will Register Since 2017 we’ve been registering Wills with Certainty at no extra cost and including those in our store they currently have the location of over 7 million Wills registered. SWW Trust Corporation If the SWW Trust Corporation are named as an executor or trustee in the Will (either as a sole appointment, joint or reserve at first level) they will sponsor the storage of that document for you. 7
