Making a Will brings a welcome sense of relief: an important job is done, the paperwork signed, and the document filed safely away. Then life carries on. Ten, fifteen, or twenty years pass, and the document remains untouched.
A Will deserves another look because the life it was designed around may no longer exist. The person who signed it decades ago may have had younger children, different assets, fewer responsibilities, and quite different family dynamics.
Children who once needed guardians may now have children of their own. Have you deliberately included your grandchildren, or simply assumed they will benefit? Marriage, separation, or losing a loved one should naturally prompt a review, as should changes in your executors. The relative or friend you trusted years ago to administer your estate may have moved away, aged, or become unable to take on such a demanding responsibility.
Finances evolve just as quickly. A family home may have changed, investments grown, or gifts of cash that once seemed generous may now have had their real value eroded by time.
For Jersey residents, it is vital to remember that movable and immovable estates are governed by distinct rules and often handled under separate Wills. Reviewing only one document leaves half the picture unseen, and amendments made in isolation can create unintended complications for your family later.
Reading through your Wills every few years is not about rewriting everything; it often simply brings peace of mind that your existing arrangements remain sound.
Most importantly, it ensures your loved ones will not be left guessing your intentions.
If your Wills have not been reviewed for some time, our experienced Wills and Probate team is here to help. We can review your existing paperwork, talk through your current wishes, and ensure both your movable and immovable wills accurately reflect your intentions.
"A big thank you to you and your colleagues for your kindness and efficient service ... you made what was a difficult time very easy.”
