It is recommended to review your Will every three to five years or after any major life event. Regular reviews help ensure that your Will remains relevant and legally valid.
Can I update my Will without a lawyer?
While it is possible to make minor changes to your Will using a codicil, it is advisable to consult with a solicitor to ensure that any updates are legally binding and correctly executed. This helps avoid potential disputes or invalidation of your Will.
What is a codicil?
A codicil is a legal document that allows you to make minor amendments to your existing Will without rewriting the entire document. It must be signed and witnessed in the same way as your original Will.
When should I consider writing a new Will?
If you have significant changes to make, such as adding or removing beneficiaries, changing executors, or making substantial alterations to your estate distribution, it may be more straightforward to write a new Will.
What happens if I don't update my Will?
If your Will is not updated to reflect your current wishes, it may lead to unintended consequences, such as assets being distributed to the wrong individuals or disputes among beneficiaries. An outdated Will may also fail to take advantage of current legal and tax benefits.
How do I ensure my updated Will is legally valid?
To ensure your updated Will is legally valid, it must be signed and witnessed according to legal requirements. Consulting with a solicitor can help ensure that all legal formalities are correctly followed.
Can I store my updated Will with Fisher Jones Greenwood?
Yes, Fisher Jones Greenwood offers secure storage options for your updated Will, ensuring it is safe and accessible when needed.
How long does it take to update a Will?
The time required to update a Will can vary depending on the complexity of the changes. Simple updates may be completed quickly, while more substantial revisions may take longer. Your solicitor can provide an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.
What documents do I need to update my Will?
To update your Will, you will need your existing Will, identification documents, and any relevant information about changes in your assets, beneficiaries, or executors. Your solicitor will guide you on any additional documents required.
