Keeping an Updated Will

Writing the first copy of a will may be one of the most important parts of properly seeing your estate through to your loved ones, but failure to maintain and update that will may potentially make it effectively worthless.

Be sure to review your will every couple of years, perhaps even every few months, to make sure that any newly-gained property is accounted for and properly attributed to their recipients. Better still, you may have learned that someone specifically desired a certain article or another has insisted their given share upon someone else.

The most important benefit of regularly updating a will is appropriately keeping up with your relationships with your loved ones. Such things as divorces, marriages, new births and unexpected deaths - even earthquakes or storms - may all effect how your estate gets passed on to your loved ones.

By keeping an updated will with a qualified Maryland estate lawyer you can rest assured that your hard earned estate will all be accounted for and able to fully benefit your loved ones.
