Will Storage

[BlueRobin]

My will was stored with Income's Will Trust service for the past many years and they have recently decided to terminate the service. The original will has now been returned to me and I am wondering where is the next best (cost effective) place to store it.

When I had my will drawn up, it was part of the cost for the writing, registering and storing of my will. So I do not know the actual cost of just storage alone.

I will be so grateful if members here could share where and how much it cost you to have your will stored outside of your home.

Thanks in advance.

The Singapore Academy of Law is reportedly close to introducing their digital will storage service, an extension of their Will Registry. You can check with them to see how close they are.

For the mean time, can consider scan and store online first.

Why need to store outside?

Why need to store outside?

So that it can’t be disputed that it’s real and original?

 

[BBCWatcher]

Why need to store outside?

There are many excellent reasons to store wills and other important documents (also) outside the home, these days in a secure digital repository that loved ones can access in a controlled way. The Singapore Academy of Law and other organizations offer reasonable explanations why.

 

[BlueRobin]

Thanks so much for all the replies. I will look into each of your suggestion.

does storing online copy of will is still considered legal if the actual physical copy is lost upon death ?

Yes, it appears so, with an application to the Court. cf. Family Justice Act 2014, Rule 248.

As my Will already registered in the Singapore Academy of Law's Will Registry, the original Will is still with me in my safe.

Registering the Will is important, without which there could be disputes.

actually unless you hate your siblings, children or parents, whats the point of will.
The intestate law is suficient.

You don’t need to hate them to have a say over how it is distributed what
