Will Updates

How often should I update my will after getting married or divorced?

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. Beyond these major events, many people review their wills every 3-5 years or when they experience changes like having children, acquiring significant assets, or moving to a new state. Regular reviews help ensure your will reflects your current wishes and circumstances.
