What Is Will Custodianship?

Will Custodianship refers to the secure storage and safekeeping of your original signed Will with a professional and trusted service provider.

Instead of keeping the Will at home where it may be lost, damaged, or accessed prematurely, custodianship ensures the document is preserved in a controlled, confidential, and secure environment.

Why Will Custodianship Is Important

Even a properly drafted Will can fail in practice if the original document is not available when required.

Will custodianship helps by:

Protecting the original Will from loss, damage, or destruction
Preventing unauthorised or premature access
Ensuring the document can be produced when execution is required

This adds a critical layer of practical security to estate planning.

Will Custodianship is suitable for individuals who want professional and neutral safekeeping of their Will.

This service is recommended for:

Individuals who have already drafted a Will

I availed of Willjini's POA vetting service. The onboarding and initial connect with the core team was facilitated and supported by Adv. Shweta Ma'am. Details of professional fees were communicated upfront. No hidden costs. Adv. Manisha Ma'am guided me initially, providing vital technical inputs for key decision making. That helped a lot in determing a course of action and appropriate solution for my unqiue requirements. Adv. Riddhi Ma'am helped with reviewing the initial POA draft that I had prepared. The vetting process was thorough and meticulous. A significantly overhauled draft was shared with me and subsequently finalized after taking my inputs and recommendations. I required additional inputs at the time of registration that was further supported by Adv. Manisha and Adv. Riddhi. The registration process was ultimately successful and the POA is ready for pickup. I am grateful to the entire Willjini team for their inputs, guidance and support.

I walked into their office without prior appointment and was attended by Mr.Devvrat Unadkat promptly. He explained with clarity the procedure for drafting a will and also handed over a checklist.

I was assigned a team comprising a Advocate Alpana Rathi and Sucheta Bajaj. From the first meeting with Mr.Devvrat to drafting the will through whatsapp and email by Advocate Alpana and completing the registration formalities by Ms.Sucheta everything went smoothly. The whole team was efficient and professional and with their expertise I am relieved of finalizing and registering the will.

I would highly recommend to my family and friends.

I reached out to them because I needed a will drafted urgently for a house transfer, and I’m honestly so glad I chose them. The team really stepped up. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, but what I appreciated most was how well they communicated throughout the whole process. They kept me updated at every stage without me ever having to follow up. I told them I was in a rush, and they genuinely took that on board — no excuses, no delays, just solid work and a team effort. They got everything done on time and handled it all with care and professionalism. Really grateful for their help and would happily recommend them.

I am pleased to share my experience with Willjinni Service Trust. I have established two Family Private Trusts through Willjinni and found their team to be highly professional and supportive. They guided me through every step of the process, from the initial setup to the pre- and post-registration of the Trust Deeds. I strongly recommend Willjinni to anyone considering setting up a Family Trust.

Asked Questions

What is Will Custodianship?

Will Custodianship is a service where your original signed Will is securely stored with a trusted professional service provider. It ensures that the document is protected from loss, damage, or tampering. The Will remains confidential and is accessed only as per predefined instructions.

Is it safe to keep my Will at home?

Keeping your Will at home may expose it to risks such as accidental damage, misplacement, or unauthorised access. In some cases, the original document may not be traceable when required. Professional custodianship provides structured and secure storage.

Who can access my Will during my lifetime?

During your lifetime, the Will remains confidential and under your control. It is not disclosed to family members or third parties without your written instructions. Access is strictly governed by defined custodial procedures.

What happens to the Will after my death?

Upon your passing, the Will is released to the appointed executor or authorised individual as per your instructions. Proper verification is carried out before release. This ensures smooth estate administration without confusion.

Can I withdraw or replace my Will in custody?

Yes, you can request withdrawal or replacement of your Will at any time during your lifetime. Identity verification and procedural formalities must be completed. This ensures controlled and documented handling of the original document.

Is Will Custodianship legally required?

No, custodianship is not legally mandatory. However, it provides practical security and reduces the risk of disputes related to missing or damaged Wills. It strengthens estate planning by ensuring the document is safely preserved.

Can NRIs use Will Custodianship services in India?
