Making time to write a will

Wills are living documents
Have you recently been through a significant life event? For example:
- Moving to a new house?
- Getting married?
- Having or adopting children?
- Become divorced or widowed?
- Experiencing a downturn in your finances?
- Received a large bonus or compensation?
- Or invested in a second home?
All these situations would result in a change to your chosen beneficiaries. If you have already made your will, it is important to keep it up to date, so it is still relevant and valid.
