Wills are often written early on in life, and their contents are protected for many years to come. They do not necessarily expire, but they can become out of date – and therefore no longer relevant – if they are not reviewed and updated for long periods of time. Here’s everything you need to know to guarantee your Will remains legally valid.
How Long are Wills Valid?
In the UK, Wills do not expire, no matter how long ago they were written, meaning there is no time limit on their validity. That being said, it is important to update your Will when you face big life changes, reach key milestones like having children, or when your estate becomes larger, to ensure it reflects your circumstances at the time of your death.
