Safe $$ now, But regret later?

Under the law, a person who is qualified to certify shall not certify a true copy of a photocopy document without sighting the original document as it is a serious offence if the original surfaced later and was found to be different from that certified.

Some testators wouldn't like to have family members to know where their Will is kept. When the testator passed away, his family will not able to locate the original Will. Although some of them will have a photocopy of Will for the family, but if the photocopy is not accepted as evidence, then the estate has to be handled through the application of a letter of administration which delays the process considerably.


It also means that the distribution will not follow the final wishes of the testator although he had made a big step in writing a Will earlier. This situation could have been prevented altogether if the testator had kept his Will with us continuously.

The Will is an important legal document and the Original Will needs to be kept carefully and securely but easily located when it is needed. Keeping the instrument at Rockwills Custody Centre will ensure the objective of writing the Will and instructions can be carried out.

Remember; “A lost Will is as good as having no Will at all.”
