It’s recommended that you update your will every two years. This is to make sure that any changes in your circumstances are reflected in your will. This includes things like:
- You have a new child
- You get engaged, married or divorced
- You move house
- You buy or sell any property
- You inherit money or property
- One of your executors, beneficiaries or guardians dies
- You want to change who is inheriting your estate
- You want to add a specific gift or message to someone you love
- Inheritance tax legislation or the law governing wills changes
