Certain circumstances, such as marriage or divorce, can partially or fully invalidate a Will so it is a good idea to review your Will regularly to check it still reflects your wishes.
If you move in with a new partner, but do not marry or enter into a civil partnership, you need to consider reflecting this in your Will as Intestacy laws will not recognise your new partner.
It is important to review your Will if you divorce and remarry, as both of these can affect your Will. You can protect the interests of your children in your Will to ensure that they still receive a share of your property by way of a Life Interest Trust.
