Should I Update My Will?

Reviewing Your Estate Plan

When Should You Update Your Will?

Your Will reflects your wishes and circumstances at a particular point in time. However, personal, financial, and family situations can change regularly throughout life.

Certain day-to-day events may affect or even revoke parts of your Will without you realising it. As your estate evolves, it is important that your Will continues to accurately reflect your current intentions and circumstances.

For this reason, we recommend consulting with your Will Lawyer every few years to review your estate planning documents and ensure your Will remains up to date.

Major Life Changes

Events That May Require Updating Your Will

Below are some common life events that may trigger the need to update or rewrite your Will and Estate planning documents:

Marriage (as marriage may void a pre-existing Will)
Entering a de facto relationship
Separation or divorce
Retirement
Changes in your children’s relationships
The birth of children or grandchildren
Establishment of a family trust
Purchase or sale of a business
Bankruptcy or significant financial changes
