Ask the expert My circumstances have changed, do I need to make a new Will?

Life is a journey full of twists and turns and our circumstances are always evolving. As such our Wills need to change throughout our lives.

Major life events such as marriage, divorce or the birth of a child can all trigger the need to create a new Will. These milestones not only alter your personal landscape but can have profound implications for your inheritance wishes.

Marriage A new marriage revokes a previous Will so it is important to make a new Will to ensure that your wishes are met and not left to chance.

Children The birth or adoption of a child is a pivotal moment in your life. You are likely to want to provide adequate financial support for new children as well as appointing a guardian.

Separation Separation before a divorce is finalised, means that your former partner would still be entitled to inherit from your Estate, either under your Will or via intestacy rules.

Divorce, once finalised, doesn't automatically invalidate an existing Will. Instead, your previous spouse or civil partner will be considered to have died before you. If you wish a former spouse to still inherit, you will have to create a new Will.

8 November/December

Why should I make a Will, my family will inherit without one?

A Will is useful at almost any stage of life and even if you are not worried about who will inherit from your estate, you may want to stipulate things such as funeral arrangements.

You may also want to consider friends or charities that would benefit from a gift from you.

Regardless of the size of your Estate, if you are in a relationship but are not married or in a Civil Partnership, you should put a Will in place to stipulate who your beneficiaries will be. Without a Will there is no right for unmarried partners to inherit.

Taking legal advice is invaluable as every individual’s circumstances are different. A specialist will be able to provide advice tailored to you and your current circumstances.

NE Family Law is a boutique firm based in Richmond specialising in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Estate Administration.

Maddie offers bespoke advice and guidance and will work with you to create a later life plan that works for you. More info HERE. Familiesonline.co.uk

This winter, the latest cool seasonal family activity returns, once more, to Southbank! So why not head down to The Curling Club and try your hand at casual curling?

Your family can now emulate her and the team by gliding your stones down a fit-for-purpose sheet, giving you an experience as close to the real deal without the need for ice or specialist footwear.

This year, accompanied by an allstar cast, comedian Paul Merton steps out from behind the iconic Have I Got News For You desk and dons the Panto Dame’s heels in the role of Sarah the Cook.

Packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients Richmond audiences have come to expect, don’t miss this action-packed pantomime that promises to be full of laugh-out-loud comedy, stunning scenery and beautiful costumes.
