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:

  1. Log into your WillsConnect account
  2. Go to your will documents
  3. Download your will again (as many times as you need)
  4. 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.
