Where's the best place to store a will?

[Chris S]

I'm currently writing my will and was thinking of depositing it with the London Probate Service.
Does anybody have any better recommendations?

I think ours are kept foc by the solicitor. There's a copy at home 'somewhere'.

 

[DCLane]

+1 to @sheddy's approach - with solicitor and copy at home

I think ours are kept foc by the solicitor.

Are you sure it's FOC or are they executors where they remove 20% of your estate into their coffers

Seatpost.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

I'm sure you'll find a way.

Seatpost.

That's where I lose my will, especially on step hills

Mine is in the gun cabinet for which only I know where the keys are. Should mean the house gets a spring clean as people look for the keys.

I'm taking all of it with me.

Plan B is @sheddy 's

Edit :- I suspect the reason solicitors store wills FOC is that they are then first in line to get the business of probate etc

We paid for the solicitors to draw up the will and they store it FOC. I guess they roll up the storage fees into the price for the Will lol, The solicitors are not the executors.

FOC at my solicitor.

My mums was held in a will holding place in Bath, If you want their details I can find it.

 

[MikeG]

Somewhere in your house such that the executor knows where it is.

 

[Dave 123]

FOC at our solicitors.

My mums was held at a holding company in Bath.

@twentysix by twentyfive mentioned probate. A solicitor will charge a few grand for this. I have just recieved the confirmation of probate for my mums estate.
It took 2 evenings to do with a bit of head scratching and swearing, but it's all on line and fairly straight forward. Costs nowt!
