How will the sample be stored?
You have the choice of holding the sample yourself, storing it with your Will (we return the paper to the solicitor), storing it with the Willcheck® or Genecheck service or any combination of these. If stored with us, the samples are placed in a fireproof safe within our secured premises, with appropriate drying materials. Only if the sample is stored with us can we guarantee the integrity of the sample over long periods of time.
