When do I need to review my will?

We recommend you review your will when your personal situation changes e.g:

• You have more beneficiaries (e.g. step-children, foster children, newborn children)
• You get married, enter a civil partnership, or get divorced (NB: your will is automatically revoked by marriage or entering into a civil partnership)
• You sell or buy property or other valuable assets

How our will writing solicitors can help

A will is a legal document and any small error in the wording is open to interpretation which can cause problems and, at worst, render the will invalid. We can assist you by providing you with the legal advice you need and preparing your will. We have assembled a range of guides to give you a good understanding of your legal situation:

• A simple guide to wills
• How to make a will
• What to put in your will
