Your digital vault

Now that your will has been registered, there is one further step that can make things much easier for the people who will deal with your affairs in the future.

When administering an estate, executors often spend considerable time trying to locate information about assets, accounts and important documents. Keeping a clear and up-to-date record of this information can help avoid delays and ensure that nothing important is overlooked.

For this reason, it is helpful to:

Maintain a list of your assets and liabilities

This may include property, bank accounts, savings, investments, pensions, insurance policies, mortgages, loans, business interests and digital assets.

Consider how your executors will access this information

Those dealing with your estate will need to know where key information and documents are stored.

Digital Vault

As part of your will registration with The National Will Register, you can access a secure digital vault designed to help organise and maintain this information. This helps ensure that those administering your estate can locate the information they need. The digital vault allows you to:

• Record details of your assets and store important documents in one place
• Update the information over time as your circumstances change
• Share this information with your executors to access when it is needed
