How do I store information about my Will in My Legacy Vault?

This article covers storage of information (i.e. which firm drew up the Will, when it was made, information on the executors and other notes and instructions such as where the Will is kept).

Please refer to this article on uploading the soft copy of your Will.

Please refer to this article on selecting and configuring Trusted Persons, who can access the information based on your configuration (such as upon your demise).

You will need to complete all of the above in order to have a complete set of digital information on your Will which will be shared upon your death.

The accuracy and relevance of the information stored is entirely dependent on how up-to-date it is. For instance, if you upload an old Will but fail to update it when a new Will is created (which revokes the earlier Will), the latest Will remains legally valid. However, My Legacy would still share the outdated Will, which would be revoked and unusable.

The original hard copy of the Will is still required for the Grant of Probate. If the original hard copy is lost or destroyed, any other version, such as a digital copy, would be subject to court approval.
