In the absence of a Will, the law in your jurisdiction and the Probate Court decides how your assets will be handled. Not your partner nor family! Most countries, states and provinces have a fixed formula for allocating your assets. Probably not the way you intended.
Many legal experts will confirm that too many Wills cannot be properly executed because they cannot be found.
Expensive and often futile searches are made by executors and their solicitors for the Will and safe deposit box locations after the death of the testator.
People today travel more frequently, change occupations, and move to other regions of a country or perhaps to a new country.
Sons, and daughters and partners often don’t know where the testator does their banking, “IF” they have a Will, where is it kept, along with other important documents, thereby adding further grief and anxiety to a family following a death.
Your “Honey Do List” should have two top of the chart functions to carry out.

2…Get that Wills Location registered with a worlds wills locations registry for your peace of mind.
