As we settle into 2022, it is difficult to avoid getting caught up in the number of tasks that you have to keep on top of for the new year, and it is easy for reviewing your Will, or updating your Will, to slip to the back of your mind. 

 

However, the start of the new year is the perfect time to reflect on how things have changed since you first wrote your Will, and update your Will accordingly. 

When you made your will, the chances are that you felt perfectly happy with what it said, and how it was written. However, as time passes, and life changes, we must not underestimate the importance of regularly reviewing and updating your Will so that it properly recently your current situation and wishes. 

 

If you have had no significant life changes, it is generally advisable to review your Will every few years, to ensure that no changes to the law could affect your Will and how it is used. Still, many of us have fast-moving lives, and regular life changes that could affect the wishes outlined in a Will. 

 

 

Depending on your situation, and the way in which you wish to change your Will, there are two different options available for changing your Will with our wills and Probate solicitors. 

 

1. A Codicil (amendment to a Will) – this can be used to make changes and it will need to be witnessed and signed, the same way as you would with a Will. 

 

2. Writing a new Will – you should state in your new Will that any previous versions are no longer valid. 

 

Our wills and probate solicitors know that it can be difficult to know where to start with changing your Will or making amendment to your Will. 

Our specialist Wills and probate solicitors are aware that there are a huge number or Will writing services and Will amendment services advertised online for extremely cheap prices. However, these services are often not regulated, and do not follow necessary protocol, meaning that any changes to your Will can be invalid when it comes to your relatives trying to adminster your Will.
