Should I laminate my Will?

There actually isn't a clear cut answer to this, but let me try to explain by quoting directly from our CEO;

"I wouldn't laminate my Will. One of the possible ways a Will gets disputed is the authenticity of it, be it on whether that is THE original document which is required to be submitted, or if the signatories in it are forged. Laminating makes the 'tests' of the document difficult, and if you are thinking about removing the lamination, that process sometimes can do even more damage to the document. 

Additionally, if for one reason or another the document requires to be legalised in other countries, there might also be issues. As a very loose example, the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot affix legalisation stamp on laminated documents. If you need to legalise an original document that has been laminated, you will need to request the issuing agency to issue a certified true copy or an extract of the original document for legalisation (Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore Website).

My bigger concern here is actually the fact that you are considering trying to have one Will made and last so long to the extend that by the time you die, the ink would have been faded to the extend it becomes incomprehensible. A Will in the end is like a plan, and as your life circumstances change, so too should your Will. Have one, and re-look at it as time goes by. Be it yearly, 5 yearly or 10 years.

If you are really concerned about your Will going missing, destroyed, or faded, then you should consider having a professional storage service such as our gA-Vault. Companies providing these services have backup contingencies and have in-place strict control and access measures. I wouldn't risk my family going to Court arguing about my now lost or faded Will just to save a few hundred bucks.

That being said, in the end it is your Will, and so your choice."
