The choice to rewrite your Will is influenced by the change in your circumstances and whether such change is appropriately addressed in your Will. If you find yourself in any of the following situations, you might reconsider revising your will:

  1. Marriage, separation, divorce or remarriage;
  2. Birth or adoption of a child;
  3. Death of a family member or other beneficiary of your estate;
  4. When you want to change your beneficiaries or the proportion of distribution;
  5. When your appointed executor, trustee or guardian dies or is unable to act as such;
  6. When you decide to name someone else as your executor, trustee or guardian;
  7. When the size of your estate changes significantly;
  8. When there are changes in probate or tax laws that could affect your estate.
