Changing a Will

A change of circumstances could prompt you to change your will as it may be deemed outdated or invalid. You may do this either by amending the original will or by making a new one. A codicil, as the amendment document is legally known, can change one or more sections of a will and acts as a supplement to the original will. Changing a will can be due to a number of reasons, including a change in the named executor of the will, addition of beneficiaries to the will, divorce or marriage on your part, and even dissolution of a civil union. You may also seek a solicitor’s advice to destroy a will, and in such a case the will must necessarily be destroyed either by you or in your presence. It is always advisable to include a clause in a new will which revokes all previous wills and codicils. As changing an existing will depends on many such factors, and may legally be a difficult proposition, you should refer the matter to a wills and probate lawyer, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
