Archer Legacy Planning
Storage Services
Wills, LPAs, Trusts—these are some of the most important documents you’ll ever create. But where you store them is just as important. At Archer Legacy Planning, we offer secure document storage that keeps your affairs protected, accessible, and in the right hands when it matters most.
Document Storage Services
Your original Will or Power of Attorney needs to be kept somewhere safe, dry, and protected from loss or damage. If it’s lost or accidentally destroyed, it may not be legally valid—leaving your wishes unfulfilled.
We store your documents in a secure, fire-resistant facility with clear instructions on retrieval, so they’re always protected and ready when needed.

FAQ
What Happens If You Don’t Store Your Documents Properly?
If your Will, LPA, or other important documents aren’t safely stored:
-
The original could be lost, damaged, or accidentally destroyed
-
A missing Will might be treated as if it never existed
-
Delays could prevent your wishes from being followed
-
Your family may face legal challenges or unnecessary stress
-
Vital decisions could be left in limbo at a critical time
Proper document storage protects your future plans—and makes life easier for the people you care about.
Can I store my Will or LPA at home?
You can, but it’s risky. If the original document is damaged, lost or altered, it could be declared invalid. We strongly recommend secure storage to ensure it’s accepted without delay when needed.
What happens if someone needs access to my documents?
Only authorised individuals (like your executor or attorney) can request access. We’ll verify their identity and follow strict procedures to protect your privacy and security.
Is this service a one-off or ongoing?
Our storage service includes ongoing safeguarding, annual checks, and updates if your circumstances change. You’re always in control, but we make sure nothing gets missed.
4. Can I store other documents too?
Absolutely. Alongside your Will and LPA, we can store letters of wishes, funeral instructions, and other important paperwork related to your estate plan.
