Wills should be reviewed every five years, advises charity
30 June 2008
Those who have written a will should review the document at least every five years, international charity Help the Aged recommends.
Helen Foster, the charity's head of wills and legacies, says will should be reviewed regularly or when circumstances change.
"We recommend that you review your will at least every five years, or when your circumstances change, for example, the birth of a child, or a major change in assets," Ms Foster states.
She adds that advice is not difficult to obtain and can be taken from a solicitor who will be able to advise on all aspects of writing a will.
A report by money website fool.co.uk this month revealed that one in 25 people will die broke as a result of not having the correct provisions in place.
Only one in four (23 per cent) think they will be able to leave the majority of their assets to the next generation and a further 25 per cent don't expect to have anything to bequeath when they die.
