Thinking about changing your Will later in life? Or perhaps leaving someone out altogether? 👀
It’s your Will, so you can do whatever you want… right?
Well, not quite.
When you’re making significant changes to your Will, particularly later in life, there are a few important things your lawyer needs to consider.
⚖️ Testamentary capacity – Do you understand the nature and effect of the Will you’re making?
⚖️ Undue influence – Are these genuinely your wishes, or is someone else influencing your decisions?
⚖️ Potential estate claims – Just because you leave someone out of your Will doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be able to make a claim against your estate.
A properly prepared Will isn’t just about recording your wishes. It’s about making sure those wishes are understood, properly documented and given the best possible chance of being upheld.
And sometimes, the conversations we have when preparing your Will are just as important as the document itself.
