Designed by our Private Client experts, Roythornes’ Vaults provide you with a secure place to store your most important legal documents and information in one centralised, safe location.
There are three types of Roythornes’ Vault – each bespoke to its specific purpose and designed to help tackle the challenge of organising and protecting information about your personal affairs; your estate; your business and/or your trusts.
Personal Vault – for your personal estate and wealth management
Personal estate and wealth planning is becoming increasingly difficult to keep on top of. Managing the key documents concerning one’s investments; bank, building society, credit accounts, insurances, digital accounts (including cryptocurrencies, online storage, and social media) and so on, can be made simpler with the Personal Vault.
The Personal Vault also provides safe and secure storage for those important legal documents such as your Will and Lasting Power of Attorney, making managing your affairs and documentation easier.
Estate Vault – a key tool for landed estates and agricultural businesses
Designed for businesses, landed and agricultural estates to help keep track of the many deeds and documents required by a busy and diverse estate, which often involves multiple individuals.
The Estate Vault takes the Personal Vault one step further and helps to organise and administer documents such as partnership agreements, articles, meeting minutes, title copies and plans, trust deeds, insurance policies, as well as asset details and schedules.
The Estate Vault can be used to share information between business or family members and protect information relating to individuals or couples. So, for example, whilst the partnership agreement may be free for all to review; Wills and LPAs can be kept private for the benefit individual concerned.
Trust Vault – to help streamline the administration of trusts
Whilst trusts still play an important role in estate and tax planning, trust administration has become increasingly complex in recent years, following the introduction of requirements such as the Trust Registration Service.
The Trust Vault was designed to help trustees manage and safely store copies of the deeds and documents affecting the trust, accounts and tax returns, as well as trust registration information.
