answer storage questions, what the return costs are on the death of the testator and where the documents are held. In the past the SWW have rescued Will banks from defunct companies and in doing so have seen the reality of where some documents have been stored. A terrible, but true example we have seen was when we collected a small Will bank from a downstairs toilet. Firstly if you’re paying for storage you would presumably never pay to have your Will stored in a downstairs toilet which could be at risk of flooding and probably lacks relevant fire safety standards. In over thirty years we have rescued and treated many thousands of swans. Entirely funded by donations Swan Lifeline rescues and treats sick and injured swans. Working with an SWW member who chooses to store with The National Will Archive means your documents will be in our safe custody. We have a dedicated team on hand to answer any questions and can help executors retrieve documents very easily when the time comes. Remember, free may not always be better and rarely do you ever get something for nothing. Much of the work is carried out by volunteers and we rely on legacies for our continued funding.
