Where is the Best Place to Store Your Will and Your Vital Information?

Options
I found some solutions online and I was wondering what do you do. I like the one called AfterVault, because it checks on you and it does not reveal the information until you decide or you are no longer there.

Do you use any service like this?

    The best and cheapest solution is to use the Probate Registry's own service. Make sure your executor knows where it is.

    Such cloud storage systems only hold electronic material. The essential material copies will still need a physical storage solution, such as suggested above.
  • The Probate Registry stores the physical document. A cloud service would be useless.

    A half decent solicitor will store a will and accompanying documents free of charge.
    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    All very well but solicitors merge or close down. Although there is a cost the Probate Registry is more stable.
