An out-of-date Will can be as risky as having no Will at all. If your circumstances have changed, it may no longer reflect your wishes, or even be valid. We review and update Wills quickly, in plain English.
It is tempting to write a Will once and forget it. But life rarely stands still. We recommend reviewing your Will every three to five years, and after any major change.
Marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, or the loss of someone named in your Will.
A new home, a business, an inheritance, or assets abroad can all change how your estate should pass.
Your wishes can simply shift over time. Your Will should keep pace with them.
Some life events affect your Will automatically, and people are often caught out.
Marrying or entering a civil partnership usually revokes your existing Will entirely, unless it was written in contemplation of that marriage.
Your Will stays valid, but your former spouse is treated as having died, which can leave gaps you did not intend.
Whatever has changed, updating your Will is straightforward with us. We will make sure it is valid and current.
As a rule of thumb, review it every three to five years, and after any major life event such as marriage, divorce, a new child, a house move, or the death of someone named in it.
Small changes can sometimes be made with a document called a codicil, but for anything significant it is usually clearer and safer to write a new Will. We will advise which suits your situation.
