It is all too easy to assume if you already have a
will in place it is not something that you have to think about. However, it is important to bear in mind that if your circumstances have altered significantly then your
will may need updating.When to think about reviewing your
will:• If you have married since you made your
will the act of marriage revokes a
will unless specific reference to the marriage has been made in the
will beforehand.• If you made your
will prior to 2007 then there have been significant changes to the
Inheritance Tax regime upon which you should consider taking advice.• If your children have grown up since you made your initial
will, your choice of
executor may be out of date or you may now have grandchildren you wish to provide for.When you leave your
estate on your death you are most likely making the largest
gift you will ever make to your family and loved ones and it is worth taking the time to ensure that it passes as you would wish it to.[button_shortcode button_url="https://www.hegarty.co.uk/personal-advice/wills-trusts-probate/" button_text="Contact us today for advice and support"]
