Your Wills, Secured Since 1987
Sentinel Will Storage has been providing secure, professional will storage services for over 35 years. As the will storage division of the Willwriters' Association, we understand the importance of protecting one of your most valuable documents.
Why Do Professional Will Writers Choose Sentinel?
There are numerous reasons why professional will writers select Sentinel's secure will storage facility.
Wills stored with a solicitor may become difficult to retrieve if the firm merges or is taken over, or if they close.
Wills stored in the home may be convenient, but even with a fire-proof safe, they are at risk from:
- Accidental loss or damage
- Destruction by fire, flood, or water damage
- Theft or robbery
- Difficulty locating or retrieving when needed
Sentinel Will Storage solves all of these concerns with secure, centralised storage in an insured, high-security vault.
