How often should you update your Will?

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.

Examples of life changes that should prompt you to review and update your will, include:

New grandchildren being born

Moving house

Getting married

Getting divorced or separated

If you acquire a valuable gift which should be gifted to somebody in your will

A named executor of your Will passes away

How can I change my 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. 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.

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.

Writing a new Will

you should state in your new Will that any previous versions are no longer valid.
