It is recommended that you review legal documents every two years – even if you don’t think your circumstances have changed.

This will ensure that your Will continues to reflect how you would like important matters — like your financial and personal care decisions — to be handled upon death.

A Last Will and Testament can be updated in two ways:
- making a new Will, or
- making a codicil, which is a separate legal document that is used to make minor modifications to an already existing Will.  

If you answer “yes” to one or more of these questions, contact us today to review and update your Will.  

1. Have you married, re-married, divorced, or been widowed?
2.  Have you entered or ended a common-law relationship? 
3. Have you been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness?
4. Have you started a business? 
5. Have you claimed bankruptcy? 
6. Have you received an inheritance? 
7. Has the value of your estate significantly increased or decreased for any reason? 
8. Have their been changes to tax laws that impact you or your estate?
