Why should you update your Will regularly?

A Will is not something you can simply set aside and forget. As life evolves, your Will should evolve with it. It is good practice to review your Will every 3-5 years or sooner if you experience a significant life change such as:

  • Marriage or divorce
  • The arrival of children or grandchildren
  • Buying or selling property
  • Notable changes in your financial situation
  • Changes to your chosen executors
  • Changes to guardians for children
  • The death of someone named in your Will

If your Will is not kept up to date, it may no longer reflect your true wishes. This can create disputes, delays or even result in parts of your estate being distributed in a way you never intended.

A brief review with a professional can help ensure your Will remains accurate and valid – saving your loved ones significant stress, time and expense in the future.
