Legacy Box Tackles £15 Billion Unclaimed Assets Problem in UK PR Newswire CARDIFF, Wales, August 20, 2012 CARDIFF, Wales, August 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UK's first secure online website launches as a vault for all financial arrangements £15billion of unclaimed assets in the UK Security key ensures nobody else can access the information It is estimated that there are over £15billion unclaimed assets in the UK.* To help tackle this problem, an entrepreneur from South Wales has created the Legacy Box - the UK's first secure online website where people can store all of their personal finance arrangements. Legacy Box (http://www.legacy-box.com) allows users to create and maintain secure online records of their assets with simple to use templates and secure access. Legacy Box means that family and executors have access to complete and up-to-date records of all of a person's assets, upon their death, forming a 'living' appendix to a person's Will. Graham Marr, founder of Legacy Box, says: "I created Legacy Box because, from personal experience, I know people's financial affairs are getting more and more complex and confusing. Multiple bank accounts, pension plans, life policies, insurance documents - the list is endless. It can be hard enough for someone to keep track of it all themselves but pity the poor family member, partner or costly probate solicitor who has to track down all the information in order to deal with someone's estate after their death.
