An estate health check is a structured review of whether your affairs would actually work without you — whether the will matches your life, whether anyone could find what you own, and whether the people you've named know they're named.
It isn't about wealth. It's about whether the machine runs when you're not in the room.
Five dimensions — because estates fail in five different ways.
Does one exist, is it findable, and has life moved since it was signed? Marriage, divorce, children, property — any of these can leave a valid will pointing at the wrong outcome.
Could someone who isn't you produce a list of what you own, where it is, and how to reach it? Accounts, policies, and property — all invisible until someone goes looking.
Executors, attorneys, guardians — named, willing, alive, and aware? A name on a document is not the same as a person who knows they were chosen.
Pensions, life policies, death-in-service, joint property — each has its own routing, and each can silently point at the wrong person.
The accounts, subscriptions and assets that exist only behind your logins. No paper trail, no key, no way in without a password no one else has.
A banded picture — not a score.
Each dimension comes back as a plain-English band with the specific gaps named: what's solid, what needs an afternoon, what needs a professional. No "73 out of 100." A number flatters or frightens; a band tells you what to do Tuesday.
Free check, or the £79 Audit?
The free check tells you where the gaps probably are — self-serve, in ten minutes. The Estate Readiness Audit — £79 — is a personally-prepared document from a Signum specialist, delivered in one business day, that works through your actual position and hands you the prioritised plan. Honest guidance: start free. If the check comes back mostly solid, you've spent nothing and you know. If it doesn't, you'll know exactly why the Audit is worth £79.

Because it's how we'd want to be sold to.
Because the check is how we'd want to be sold to. No card, no obligation, no upsell wall — the result is yours, and what you do with it is up to you. Some people fix the gaps themselves with the result in hand; some take the Audit; some discover their situation needs Signum's full service. The check doesn't care which — its job is to be right.
