You should update and review your Will throughout your lifetime

You will need to review your Will if there is a major change in your family or financial circumstances. For example, if you marry, divorce, have children or grandchildren or acquire new assets, like purchasing a property,  these changes will only be taken into account if your Will is updated.

Even if your circumstances haven’t changed, we recommend you review your Will roughly every 5 years to take into account changes in the law and your circumstances. 

Contact the solicitor who made your Will for a review, or, if you are a customer of NSW Trustee and Guardian, we encourage you to reach out every 5 years to perform a review of your Will together.
