The government recommends that you update your will every five years at least. It’s also important to change your will whenever there’s a significant change in your life, such as when: A new child is born. You get married, engaged, or divorced. You buy, inherit, or move into a new house. One of the people mentioned in your original will dies, or becomes less suitable (such as the executor dying, or guardians moving away or splitting up). You have something new that you’d like to pass on. You change your mind about who should inherit what (it happens). Our optional £10 a year subscription service lets you log in and update your will using your saved details any time. Think of it as having an online will kit at your fingertips for whenever life turns a corner.
