Why Update Your Will?
You have a will. For that we applaud you, because you understand the importance of having put the Will in place: far too many simply don’t bother.
You spent time thinking about it, considered every aspect, took your time and made an effort. You were pleased with yourself and felt a sense of relief.
Then, you filed the Will away secure in the knowledge that you had done the right thing, job done; time to sit back and relax.…but that may have been 3 years or more ago.
A lot may have happened. Maybe you got married, had a child, experienced the loss of a loved one, got divorced, moved jobs, up-sized, down-sized, started your own business or bought a holiday home abroad. Also, the world keeps turning – laws change, tax rules change, governments change.
How will you know whether your Will still works for you?
When it comes to updating a Will, think about what may have changed:
- A marriage or civil partnership automatically revokes an existing will (although conversion to marriage from a civil partnership does not)
- Divorce
- Death of a beneficiary, executor or guardian
- Changed relationships
- Gifts of specific items – if you no longer have the particular item or want it to go to someone different
- Foreign property
- Business interests – if you have started a new business or your business interests have changed
- Insurance policies – if you have acquired a financial product with a life policy element
- Trusts – if you have acquired an interest under a trust
- Wealth – if you have acquired greater wealth, tax planning would be sensible.
- Long Term care is expensive but you can mitigate its impact.
