MAJOR PROBLEM 1 (Dementia)
Month after month, year after year we get calls, mum/dad has died, we found your card, did you do the Will? do you have it? we can’t find it. As people get older and become forgetful, or get dementia, they look at their Will, then hide it somewhere odd and no one can find it, this happens all the time.
MAJOR PROBLEM 2 (Families)
The other major problem with storing your own Wills is ‘Intentional Destruction’ of your Will by family members who do not like what you have written, especially a problem where different families or 2nd relationships are involved, things may seem cosy now, but time can change everything.
