You should consider making a new will if there is a major change in the circumstances of your life. If you get married, your will is not automatically revoked but if you get divorced or terminate a common-law relationship a gift or bequest to a spouse or common-law partner will be deemed to have been revoked. However, if you separate or divorce, your Will is not revoked. You can make changes to your Will via a Codicil, which is an addition to your Will that modifies, explains, or revokes a Will or parts of your Will.
