Those prudent folk who have made a Will may think that the matter is ‘done and dusted’ for them. Job done!
However, many Wills are declared invalid by the Probate Registry due to defects in the attestation (signing procedure) or because of damage/alerations to the Will.
Many Wills are invalidated because they were made before someone got married without mentioning that the Will was made in contemplation of the forthcoming marriage.
Many Wills have been badly drafted due to inadequate DIY attempts.
Many Wills are simply no longer suitable for the job e.g. after a divorce or other changes in family circumstances.
Some Wills simply ignore how to deal with important business interests.
Please think of the matters dealt with in a Will as a snapshot of what was appropriate at that time – not for the rest of your life. To ensure that your Will is effective it should be reviewed every 3-5 years, not just left in the drawer until the day you die.
You made your Will to get peace of mind but you can’t have peace of mind without knowing it is valid and useful.
So, I am offering a free no obligation review of your Will to confirm (1) if it is valid and (2) if it is still fit for purpose.
