There are a few things you can do to make sure your wishes are carried out.
Store your Will somewhere secure and make sure it can be found when it's needed.
You may want to:
keep it with your solicitor
store it in a safe place at home
use a professional storage service
Your executors will be responsible for carrying out your wishes. Let them know:
where your Will is stored
how to access it if needed
You don't have to share the contents of your Will unless you want to.
Your circumstances may change over time. You may want to review your Will after major life events such as:
getting married or entering a civil partnership
welcoming a child or grandchild into your family
moving home
changes to your financial circumstances

thank you properly
keep you updated on our research
make sure we respect your wishes around communication from us
