Pricing

A complete will — and the system built around it.

The Household Continuity Dossier includes the same straightforward will we sell on its own for £149.

Then it adds everything a will can't do: your 33 records, letters delivered to the people you love, the Trusted-Person handover, and around 19 tools and form guides.

£195 the first year (includes the £149 will), then £99 a year to keep it all current.

£149 will — included

14-day full refund

Your records leave with you

Everything is open. Form Help (free), Estate Readiness Audit (£79), Executor's First Hour (£179), and both subscription tiers.

What you're measured against

The comparison isn't another subscription. It's what the same work costs through a solicitor.

£0–0
Full solicitor probate

A solicitor's full probate engagement. Valoren is a fraction of that — and it is the preparation that keeps an estate in the lower bracket.

£0–0
A single diagnostic hour

What one hour of a senior private-client solicitor's time can cost — before any work on the estate has begun.

Yours to keep
Not billed by the hour

Records you build once and keep, rather than discovery a professional rebuilds — and bills for — every time.

The same parts, bought separately.

A straightforward will, written online
£60–£150
Included in The Household Continuity Dossier — with weekly Will Watch staleness alerts. A partner's mirror will is purchased separately.
A records vault, maintained year-round
£36–£120 / yr
All 33 records and unlimited uploads are in the Dossier — and the £99 renewal itself sits inside this band.
A fill-in handover kit
£15–£76 one-off
Printed estate organisers and fill-in kits sell as blank forms you complete yourself. The Dossier composes yours from your records, with a printed Start Here page you can re-draw whenever the facts change.
Sealed messages, held for release
No priced equivalent
Unlimited sealed, scheduled and time-capsule messages, held for release to the people you name.
Assembled separately, in year one
≈ £110–£350

The Household Continuity Dossier is £195 first year — £46 more than the will alone — then £99/yr. One place, one renewal, and the parts talk to each other.

Because the people who love you shouldn't have to search.

II · One-off documents

Four products, for when a subscription doesn't fit.

The Estate Readiness Audit is a deeper diagnostic for households planning ahead. The Executor's First Hour Pack is for someone administering another person's estate. Caring for a Parent is the conversation an ageing parent's family has been putting off. The Family Handover Kit is the done-for-you version of the free Handover Kit checklist.

All four are one-off purchases — a short intake, then your personalised document prepared by hand: the Family Handover Kit, Estate Readiness Audit and Caring for a Parent within one business day, the Executor's First Hour Pack within 12 hours. 14-day refund.

Diagnostic · planning ahead

Estate Readiness Audit

£79one-off

A ten-question diagnostic with a sequenced twelve-month remediation schedule. Deeper than the free Records Roadmap, lighter than a subscription.

  • 12-page audit PDF
  • 12-month remediation schedule
  • 14-day refund · Easy Exit Guarantee
For a newly-appointed executor

Executor's First Hour Pack

£179one-off

Eleven matters plus a twelve-month timeline for someone administering another person's estate. A solicitor's probate runs £3–8K; this is a fraction of that.

  • 18-page composite pack
  • 12-month executor timeline

The same six parts as the free Handover Kit checklist, prepared for you from what you tell us. No subscription, no account.

  • Finished, printable brief
  • Delivered within one business day
  • No subscription, no account
  • Your printed copy follows in the post — allow up to 10 working days; it's usually sooner.

Nothing you start with is wasted. Any one-off here counts in full toward anything more expensive for 30 days — the £29 brief becomes £29 off the £179 pack, and any of the four comes off the Household Continuity Dossier's first year. Use the same email at checkout and it applies automatically. Wills are the one exception, bought on their own.

Full detail for both on the One-off Products page. Both include a free sample to read first — the Records Roadmap and the 5-matter Executor sample.

III · The ongoing system

The whole system, maintained year after year.

Two tiers, the same system underneath — all 33 records, the Trusted Persons Protocol, annual review prompts, your will.

What changes is how much human help comes with it, from your Valoren Advisor to a named specialist.

First-year price covers setup and your first full year; renewals drop from year two.

The price, against the alternatives

A US records-vault subscription

Formatted to print beautifully.
Every record is formatted to print at home on archival stock for the papers that live at Location A. A posted pack — a presentation wallet (Household Continuity Dossier), or a cream cloth-bound binder with hairline gold rule and heritage seal (Estate Standard Seal) — is a planned optional upgrade.

What's included

What the Household Continuity Dossier actually holds

Every tier below includes the household record and everything it prepares.

The Start Here page.

One printed page that tells your family who to ring, where the will is, and what happens in the first five days. Have it drawn up afresh any time the facts change.

Start now

The household dossier.

Every record behind that page — the accounts to notify, the policies, the access routes — organised the way the first weeks actually ask for them.

Start now

The annual review.

Once a year, a prompt to catch the drift: the closed account, the new number, the LPA that finally registered. The dossier stays true.

Start now

Sealed letters.

Written now, opened only when it matters — held sealed in your household record until the day they're needed.

Start now

The trusted person link.

One simple way for the person you trust to reach what they need, exactly when they need it.

Start now

Release on the day.

When it matters, the person you've named can step in and everything they need is ready and waiting — the details live inside, once you're set up.

Figure watch · checked weekly

Court fees rise, thresholds move, deadlines shift.

This card watches the same way your Valoren records would — leave an email and we'll tell you when one changes, once, then stop.

IV · For professional firms

Bureau Partner — professional partnerships for IFAs, solicitors and accountants.

Hand your top clients a Valoren system as part of your service. They get a system you couldn't build internally for ten times the price; you keep the relationship.

A solicitor charges £250–£350/hour to discover a deceased client's assets. Hand them the records on day one of probate and you save them 8–15 hours per estate.

Partnerships are shaped per organisation — no seat minimums, no upfront commitment.

FAQ

The questions before you commit.

Two distinct categories.

Documents todayFree Form Help (£0). A document service, not a portal account.

Kept current, year after yearThe Household Continuity Dossier (£195 then £99/year) and The Estate Standard Seal (£495 then £199/year). Both keep the same thing up to date: all 33 records, annual reviews, the Trusted Persons Protocol, continuity checks, and your own will — a partner's mirror pair is purchased separately.

The difference is how much human help comes with it — your Valoren Advisor on the Household Continuity Dossier, a named specialist on Estate Standard Seal. The Dossier you run yourself. Seal adds a 60-minute setup session with a person, an annual review call, and a Governance Certificate.

More than most people expect, and we would rather you started there.

Free Form Help walks you through the government forms — PA1P, IHT400, BD8 and the rest — with no account and no card. The Estate Quiz and the readiness score are free. So is the Family Handover Kit checklist: the same six parts the paid Dossier maintains, laid out to print and fill in by hand.

If your household is straightforward and you will genuinely sit down and do it, the free route is the right answer and it costs you nothing.

What the paid ladder buys is that it stays true. A checklist is right the day it is filled in and drifts from there. The one-off packs write your household up for you once; the Dossier keeps it current, asks you every year, and hands it over on the day. And any of the four one-off packs comes off the Dossier's first year if you move up within 30 days — starting small never costs you more.

Yes. **Every Standard and Estate Standard Seal subscription includes a 14-day full-refund window** — cancel within 14 days of signup and email us for a full refund of everything you paid — setup and first-year fee. No questions, no conditions, no exit interview.

After the 14-day window, cancelling in Settings stops the next renewal — the cancel route takes you through to the secure billing portal to confirm. **A statutory 14-day cooling-off applies to every annual renewal** as well, per UK consumer law (DMCCA Article 14).

Free Form Help and the Estate Quiz are free permanently — there's nothing to refund because there was nothing to pay.

For the full mechanics across every cancellation scenario, see the Easy Exit Guarantee.

Yes. Cancel from your account settings, any time — the cancel route takes you through to the secure billing portal to confirm. No exit interview. No retention call.

You also have a **statutory 14-day cooling-off period** on every purchase and every annual renewal — under DMCCA and UK consumer law.

After cancellation, your filled records are exported and held for **90 days** while you finish anything outstanding. After that the data is permanently deleted.

No. Every record is a structured document. You own the content. They work without us.

Your filled records remain accessible after cancellation.

What stops is the maintenance layer — the Advisor, annual prompts, renewal tracking, prepared companion documents. The records themselves continue to function indefinitely.

Immediate digital access to your records, the Advisor (Household Continuity Dossier and above), and your portal.

Everything is formatted to print beautifully at home on archival stock — your records, the Trusted Persons Protocol card, and the operational cards. A posted pack — the Valoren Welcome presentation wallet, or a premium cloth-bound binder with the heritage seal — is a planned optional upgrade we'll offer as it opens.

If you've chosen Estate Standard Seal, your Build Session is typically scheduled within 3–5 working days.

Valoren itself is a documentation system — record-keeping and simple-will preparation (an unreserved activity) do not require regulatory authorisation. Regulated legal, tax, and financial work is delivered through Signum, the specialist practice in our group, by professionals holding the authorisations each matter requires.

Valoren prepares legally binding wills directly for straightforward estates, drafted within eligibility rules signed off by a practising solicitor (no individual solicitor review). Where regulated advice is needed — financial advice, tax, investments, or a will beyond that boundary — that work runs through Signum, the specialist practice in our group — qualified professionals for qualified matters.

The boundary is deliberate and on every page that needs it.

Yes. Sensitive fields — passwords, account numbers, PINs, recovery codes — are end-to-end encrypted on your device before they leave your browser, with a key only you hold.

We store the encrypted bytes in UK-hosted infrastructure. All other data (record names, statuses, metadata) is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2+.

We cannot read your sensitive fields. If we were ordered to hand them over, we would have nothing readable to give.

This is vault-encrypted by design — see the Security page for the full technical detail.

Yes — at any time.

Between Standard and Estate Standard Seal, the price difference is pro-rated to your renewal date.

Downgrades take effect at your next renewal.

Joint household accounts are on the Year 1 roadmap.

For now, two adults in the same household can share a single Household Continuity Dossier, complete records side-by-side, and nominate each other as Trusted Persons.

Get in touch if you need anything specific.

Valoren is built for individuals and families resident in England and Wales who want their personal records held in one disciplined place — and who plan to keep using the system over the years.

If you only want a single instrument drafted in isolation and nothing else — a one-off LPA, say — a high-street solicitor may serve you just as well. Valoren's wills are prepared directly for straightforward estates, within a solicitor-signed boundary, but as part of the whole life-administration system — not a single-document tool.

For complex offshore tax structuring, contested probate, or trust litigation, our Signum specialists run the engagement — solicitor-led, with the chartered specialisms each matter requires, under one quoted price. There is no referral machinery and no commission anywhere in the structure.

Your records survive the company. Every record is a structured prepared document — you own the content, and they work without Valoren. If Standard Index Group ever ceases trading, your prepared records still open, still print, and still hold their evidence.

You can export everything at any time, and your records stay readable without Valoren. Continuity is built into the documents themselves — the records survive the operator.

For the full continuity architecture, see the Security page.

Valoren is operated by Standard Index Group, forming in England and Wales to maintain personal records with the discipline a serious life deserves. Valoren is its sole product.
