During your life there are bound to be many changes - often these will have a direct bearing on your Will.
For example, you may become financially better or worse off. You may marry, separate or divorce. There may be births or deaths in the family.
Some of these changes will simply mean that you have to add new instructions to your existing Will. Others may mean that you have to start afresh with a new and up to date Will.
Even if there is no change in your status it is important to look at your Will from time to time to ensure that it still meets your needs. Remember, a Will that is out of date may in some cases have serious financial consequences for your family. It may have unintended and unfortunate results, or else it may simply be unenforceable.
Do not write on your Will after signing it. Should the time come when you would like to change or update your Will, this can be done simply by your legal adviser through a ‘codicil' without difficulty.
