What if I lose my will?
Platform
Don't worry - if you created your will with WillsConnect, you can easily get a replacement.
Accessing your will:
- Log into your WillsConnect account
- Go to your will documents
- Download your will again (as many times as you need)
- Print a fresh copy
We securely store your will documents in your account indefinitely, so you always have access.
If you've lost your signed original:
- Download and print a new copy from your account
- Sign it again with two witnesses
- This becomes your new valid original
Important notes:
- The signed original is what's needed for probate
- Keep the original somewhere safe (fireproof safe, with solicitor, etc.)
- Tell your executors where it's stored
- You can print multiple copies for reference (mark them as copies)
Best practice for preventing loss:
- Keep original in safe, known location
- Give copies (marked as copies) to your executors
- Keep digital copy in your WillsConnect account
- Register with National Will Register
- Create a document location list for your executors
With WillsConnect, you'll never permanently lose your will - we've got your back.
