Wills & Probate:
When to change your will...
Any of the following can change the legal effect of your will:
MARRIAGE |
Automatically cancels a Will unless it had expressly been made in contemplation of that marriage. Any children by a previous marriage or relationship can only be provided for by a new will. |
SEPARATION |
Does not affect a Will but it is sensible to consider a new will at that time. |
DIVORCE |
Provisions for a former spouse are automatically cancelled but the remainder of the will is still valid but should be reviewed. |
FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCE |
May have changed. Your estate may have increased and be liable to Inheritance Tax which could be reduced by a new will. |
CHANGE OF ASSETS |
If you have disposed of any asset mentioned in a will then the gift is of no effect. |
