Will custody in Kota Kinabalu
A will in a drawer can be lost, damaged or found too late. Custody keeps it safe.
What it is
Will custody means a professional keeps your signed will in a safe place, instead of a drawer or a cupboard at home.
Who it is for
Anyone who has a will, or is about to sign one, and wants it kept safe and easy to find.
What you get
A safe place for your signed will. Ask a planner how custody works and who can ask for the will later.
General information, not legal advice.
Three quick questions
Why not keep my will at home?
At home, a will can be lost, damaged by water or termites, or simply not found. Your family may search for weeks. In custody, it stays in one known place.
Who should know about my will?
Tell your executor and close family that you have a will and where it is kept. They do not need to know what it says. They only need to know where to ask.
Is a will kept at home still valid?
Yes. Where a will is kept does not change whether it is valid. Custody simply makes sure it stays safe and can be found when it is needed.
