Why Keeping Your Will Updated Matters

Planning for the future includes making clear arrangements for the people who depend on you. A carefully drafted and regularly reviewed will helps communicate your wishes and reduce uncertainty for your loved ones.

Your will should reflect your current relationships, responsibilities and financial circumstances. Marriage, separation, divorce, the arrival of children or changes in your dependants’ needs are all reasons to review your existing arrangements.

Our guide highlights important considerations, including:

  • Reviewing who should benefit from your estate.
  • Choosing or updating the executor responsible for administering it.
  • Considering trustees to manage an inheritance intended for minor children.
  • Reviewing guardianship wishes and provision for dependants.
  • Checking whether a standard or previously drafted will still meets your needs.

An updated will forms an important part of estate planning. It helps your family understand your intentions and supports clearer arrangements for the administration of your estate.
