In the wake of Youngs Law’s recent closure, Ann McCabe Solicitors are here to store your important documents free of charge.
Youngs had offices in Longton, Newcastle Under Lyme and Stoke, and have given their clients the option to collect their important documents should they wish. You should take this option as soon as possible so that you know where your documents are.
Title Deeds previously stored with Youngs Law Limited are now stored by Quantuma. You should contact them directly to retrieve your documents at 01273 322400 or youngs@quantuma.com. Wills are stored by Octopus Legacy.
Once you have retrieved your documents, we suggest you bring them to Ann McCabe Solicitors so we can store them locally and securely for you free of charge. If you decide to store your documents yourself, please make sure they are safe and secure and your executors will find them easily after your death.
We can keep your Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Deeds at our Newcastle Under Lyme office, guaranteeing their security while keeping them conveniently local.
A copy is not good enough
Keeping the original versions of legal documents safe and secure is essential. While you may have online versions, scans, photocopies and other computer records, they are not legally valid. Only the original documents, which have the original signature on them, are legally binding. The original Will is necessary to prove Probate. Many banks and other financial institutions only accept original registered Lasting Powers of Attorney. Original Title Deeds are necessary to sell or transfer a house if it is not registered.
