How often does a will need to be updated?
I have heard the question of how often a will should be updated on a number of occasions and at the risk of being facetious I think that a will needs to be updated when the client thinks the will needs to be updated. How often a will should be updated is certainly not something a lawyer can determine. A client's change of financial situation, marital condition, family relationship, all will compel the client to conclude that he or she has to revisit an already existing estate plan, or change their will.
