You can store a digital copy of your Will in My Legacy Vault by uploading the file under “Important Documents”, but this would not render the will as legally valid. As of today, for your Will to be generally recognised as legally valid, you must make sure that your will is printed or handwritten on a paper document and sign it in-person at the foot of the will.

With the given condition, only original copies of the Will would generally be accepted as legally valid by the Courts. For instance, the Family Justice Courts would require “the original will of the deceased” to apply for a Grant of Probate.

On My Legacy Vault, you can store information of where your original Will is located and share it with your Trusted Person(s).

Alternatively, you can also choose to do the same under Singapore Academy of Law’s (SAL) Wills Registry where they keep a record of where your Will is stored. You may wish to note that there are fees chargeable by SAL for depositing or searching for a record of the Will.
