Wills Digitisation & Safe Custody Register

Turn a room of paper wills and deeds into a secure, searchable digital register — without losing the integrity of the originals.

Many firms hold decades of wills, codicils, powers of attorney and deeds in physical safe custody, recorded in registers that are hard to search and easy to fall behind. We digitise that collection: capturing each document to a high-quality standard, indexing it against the client, the document type and its physical location, and delivering a searchable register that tells you in seconds what you hold and where the original sits.

Originals are never altered. We handle them under a controlled, catalogued process and return them to you in good order, re-boxed and re-indexed, so your physical custody remains sound while your day-to-day retrieval becomes digital.

What the service covers

  • High-resolution scanning of wills, codicils, POAs and deeds
  • Indexing by client name, document type, date and storage location
  • A searchable digital custody register
  • Secure, access-controlled digital storage

  • Protection against loss, fire or water damage
  • Reduced physical storage and offsite costs
  • A clean register for file reviews and audits
