Having a will is a final statement of how you want your assets to be managed after your death. However, sometimes you may want to change it. You may have had a child, for example, and what to add him/her into your will. You may have also acquired more assets and would like to reconsider how they get divided among your possible heirs.
What if I want to amend my will?
Must I amend my will after divorce?
A bequest to your divorced spouse in your will, which was made prior to your divorce, will not necessarily fall away after divorce.
