Safe Custody Service For Law Firms
Safe custody of wills, power of attorney, leases and other important legal documents is provided by law firms as a service to clients and as a means to repeat business.
However, undertaking the safe custody of irreplaceable documents brings with it important obligations to the client and also strict Law Society regulations with respect to chain of custody record keeping.
Law firms too often lack the time and systems to fulfill these obligations with certainty and complete accuracy over the long term.
Any solicitor that has had to turn an office inside-out over weekends searching for missing safe custody documents knows the stress that this ‘good will’ undertaking can bring. Even more so if they’ve had to explain to a valued client that their irreplaceable document cannot be found.
Safe Custody Peace of Mind
FileSaver’s Safe Custody Service gives solicitors the peace of mind that these high value often irreplaceable documents will be secure and available on demand over the long term.
Every safe custody document is sealed into an envelope, barcoded, indexed and tracked individually.
We record and maintain online on your behalf all data necessary to fulfill the Law Society’s safe custody register regulations.
The service includes a professional barcoded receipt that can be issued to your client upon your acceptance of the safe custody document. The receipt includes provision for your contact details for reference by your client or executor at the appropriate time.
The service is a low cost means of ensuring compliance with the Law Society’s regulations, and is pragmatic investment in client service and future business generation.
