Updating Your Will

Updating your will is essential for reflecting life changes. Whether due to new assets, family additions, or altered preferences, this legal process ensures your wishes are current, providing clarity in estate planning.

We can assist builders with the following types of disputes

“Regularly updating your will is a vital aspect of responsible estate planning. Life changes, such as new assets, family additions, or altered preferences, necessitate revisions to ensure the document accurately reflects your wishes. This ongoing process guarantees that your legacy is preserved, providing peace of mind and clarity for loved ones in the event of significant life developments.”

It is important to ensure that your Will is kept updated if anything significant changes such as getting married, divorced, having children or the purchase of a large asset.

A Will is a legal document in which ensures your wishes regarding your estate are known, respected and legally protected.

We strongly recommend that you seek legal advice when considering updating your will. Easy to use will kits, available on line or over the phone, might seem convenient but can easily become invalidated due to a failure to complete the legal requirements to make the Will binding.

Here at Greenline Legal, we have experiences specialists that are ready to guide you through the legal process and aim to provide you with the peace of mind knowing your wishes will be protected and respected.

Our Process

1. Meet with us

We will meet with you at a time and place that is convenient for you. We will discuss details concerning your assets and liabilities, your family, your wishes upon your death and any changes in your circumstances since making your last Will.

2. Review Your Information

We will review information supplied by you in relation to your assets and liabilities and family structure. We may also need some paperwork to confirm the information you provide to us. We will consider the law that applies to your particular circumstances and wishes and determine whether there will be any issues in drafting your updated Will as you would like it.

3. Commence Drafting Your Will

We will commence drafting your updated Will and ensure that it is “air tight” to protect your assets as best as possible from any disputes arising after your death.

4. Witnessing and Signing Your Will

We will explain the contents of your updated Will and make sure they are correct and you are happy with the document. We will then arrange for you to sign the document and have your signature witnessed by two people who are not mentioned in the updated Will. Once you have signed your updated Will your old Will becomes null and void.

5. Storage and Advice

We will be happy to store your original updated Will for safe keeping if you would like us to. We will provide you with a copy for your records. We will also provide you with a letter confirming that the work is completed. It is important to let family members and friends know where your original updated Will is held.
