You should review your will immediately after marriage or divorce, as these major life changes can significantly impact your estate plan. Marriage may automatically revoke certain provisions in some states, while divorce typically removes an ex-spouse as a beneficiary.

Regular reviews help ensure your will reflects your current wishes and circumstances.
