DON’T HIDE YOUR WILL – KEEP IT IN A SAFE, SECURE PLACE

However, even an ironclad will could be compromised by a common oversight. Far too many New Yorkers make the mistake of keeping their will in a place that is neither secure nor readily accessible.

Finding the Right Place for Your Last Will and Testament:

• A Fireproof Safe in Your Home

• The Surrogate's Court

• Your Lawyer's Office 

McKernan Law, like many other estate planning offices, has dedicated and secured storage space for wills and other testamentary documents. Keeping a copy of your will with us has several advantages, including:...

• We will not charge you to store a copy of a will that we have written. 

• Your estate planning documents will be kept in a safe location and made inaccessible to anyone who is not authorized to view it. 

Your attorney can use your will to initiate probate quickly or turn your testament over to an executor with minimal delay and without the need to upend your house.
