Beneficial Family Wills are delighted to announce our partnership with Keylu for an enhanced document safe custody solution.

By partnering with Keylu we can provide you with a fully rounded document storage offering, meaning you can not only safely store your physical documentation but also your virtual or digital details and information as well.

Keylu lets you secure all of your important information and make it available to the right people at the right time. It helps get everything organised in one place, and crucially it means you can ensure you have sorted everything out for your loved ones should anything happen.

The Keylu digital platform helps people plan, organise and store personal information that loved ones will need when someone passes away. It will also help create a lasting legacy for family and friends.

The platform makes it easy for you to record details of your important personal, legal and financial information that families will need. It also allows you to upload and store digital copies of documents, photos, videos and anything you would wish to share after your death. All this information is securely stored and made available to nominated trusted contacts after death.

Within the planning section, you also have the option to record personalised video messages, leave money to charity or even make use of the funeral planning tools.

Document safe storage is an increasingly vital element to consider regarding all the different channels of information you may now have. Safely storing a hard copy of a document such as a Will has always been vital in order for final wishes to be fully carried out, but as digital assets evolve and grow, and as we create more personal information then the need for a secure storage option grows as well.
