Reviewing your Will
It’s important to review your Will on a regular basis. Whether it’s the passage of time or a significant life event, updating your Will ensures it accurately reflects your current wishes. Here are some key moments when revisiting your Will becomes especially important:
Marriage: Tying the knot automatically revokes any existing Will, making it essential to create a new one that aligns with your married life and future plans.
Divorce: When a divorce occurs, any provisions for your ex-spouse in your Will are voided. This is a clear sign it’s time for a Will update to ensure your assets are is directed as you intend.
Children: If you're welcoming a child into your family, it's important to ensure your Will safeguards their future. You might consider setting up a trust to protect your assets and ensure they’re passed down to your children as intended.
Major Asset Transactions: If you buy or sell a significant asset, like a home, you may need to adjust your Will to reflect these changes in your estate.
Regularly reviewing your Will helps guarantee that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, no matter what life throws your way.
