Despite having a will already, as you get older it is a good idea to review the provisions of the will to make sure that they accurately reflect your current wishes.
There are a number of circumstances when you should consider revising your existing will. Please take a look at these in a little more detail to see if any of them apply to you
Your existing will is automatically revoked by marriage unless it is made in contemplation of the marriage. You may also wish to include provision for a new spouses and/or children/stepchildren.
It is absolutely crucial that you make a will after having a child so that you can appoint guardians and trustees for your child or children in the unfortunate event that you die before they reach adulthood.
Often people wish to change what they had planned on leaving to an ex-spouse.
If you left a significant portion of your estate to your deceased spouse in your will, you should update the will.
If the beneficiary dies before you do, you may wish to update your will to include a new recipient.
For example if your stock holding or a property you own went way up, or way down in value.
