What Is A Will?

A will does not become

final until the death of

the  Testator of  the

will.   As long as

the testator is mentally

competent, he or she can

changed the will.  In fact,

a periodic review makes

good sense.

Changes in circumstances

may suggest reasons for

a revised will.  These

include births, deaths,

marriage, divorce, tax

law amendments or

changes in the nature and

extent of property owned.

For example, a will

executed before marriage

is not binding on the new

spouse.  A husband or wife

is entitled by law to a

portion of the estate of

the deceased spouse. 

Therefore, a will drawn

before marriage should

be rewritten after the

ceremony.
