A question people often ask us is whether a will is permanent once it has been written.

The simple answer is no.

A will can be updated whenever your circumstances change. In fact, reviewing your will regularly is recommended.

Common life events that often lead people to update their will include:

• Marriage or divorce
• Having children or grandchildren
• Moving home
• Buying or selling property
• Changes in financial circumstances
• Changes in relationships

Many people in Hampshire review their will every three to five years to make sure it still reflects their wishes.

Updating a will is usually straightforward. In some situations a small amendment called a codicil may be suitable. In other cases, creating a new will can provide clearer protection.

The important thing is ensuring your will reflects your current wishes.
