When did you last revise your will and mandate?
Wills and Mandates: Things Change
Marriage (whether for the first or second time), choosing a new life partner, and the birth of a child are all times in your life when you should think about updating your will and your mandate. The same goes for divorce, separation, or even the death of a loved one. If you neglect to revise these documents, you could be placing yourself, and others, in a difficult situation.
Changes in the law, the implementation or abolition of certain tax measures, the occurrence of incapacity, the illness of your spouse or of the person who is legally responsible for you in the event of incapacity, the fact that one of your children has reached the age of majority—these are also events that should prompt you to review the provisions of your will or mandate.
Reread your will and your mandate. You may need to alter one or both of them. Do not hesitate to consult your notary about this. What you decided on yesterday may not necessarily be what you want today!
