Changing your will

If you have had a change of circumstances make sure your will is up to date.

It is a peace of mind when a Will is drafted. However, remember that a Will is a document reflecting your last wishes.

The following will help determine whether you need to change your Will:

  • Review your Will every 2-3 years, do they still reflect your wishes
  • Have your circumstances changed i.e. are your now married, divorced, have children or inherited a large sum of money
  • Have people you intend to benefit died or lost touch
  • Have you moved houses or sold items named specifically in your Will
  • Have you been hearing of changes in the law

Codicils can be added for minor changes in your Will, however there remains the uncertainty of intention and there could be a possibility that they contradict with other terms in your Will.
