Storage – My Life Dox
Once your documents are completed by you and confirmed by us as having been correctly signed and witnessed*, to prevent them being lost or destroyed, our sister company My Life Dox Ltd will store them for you for free.
We provide safe and secure storage for you via our partners Iron Mountain.
My Life Dox Ltd is a stand-alone entity. Being separate ensures all contact and services remain intact for the future.
When you store, we provide you with storage certificates so you, your executors and/or attorneys will know where to turn to.
So, whether you have subscribed to My Life Assist (with all its benefits) or not you should store with My Life Dox. We’ve seen it all, torn up documents, documents that have been written on or “amended” and even grandchildren colouring them in. You’ve spent money getting your affairs in order so don’t leave things to chance.
We securely store:
- Wills
- Letters of Wishes

Your documents can be retrieved at anytime as required or at a time of need all within 4 working days. A retrieval fee of £17.50 applies to cover the administration of retrieval and then forwarding by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
