Safely Storing and Registering Your Will or Power of Attorney

Law Tram’s Wills and Powers of Attorney Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Your Documents Are Only Useful If They Can Be Found and Verified

After taking the time to prepare a will or power of attorney, the next step is to store it safely. Losing the original or failing to register it can cause serious delays or legal complications later. A lawyer can explain the best way to protect your documents and make sure your executor, attorney, or family members can access them when needed.

Different states have different requirements for registering powers of attorney, particularly when they relate to property or financial decisions. Wills generally do not need to be registered but must be stored securely.

Law Tram connects you with experienced lawyers who can guide you through safe storage, registration, and verification of your important legal documents.
