Getting married revokes your will

People often don’t realize that if they have made a will and subsequently get married, then this revokes their existing will.  It renders the will null and void (unless perhaps the subsequent marriage has been considered in the will to avoid this).

Therefore, once you get married, make sure you make a will subsequently in order to ensure that all of your intended beneficiaries receive a legacy or bequest and not just your spouse.  This is particularly important in the case of second marriages when their may be children from a previous spouse who may not inherit unless provided for in an updated will.

Please make an appointment with Zara at Glover and King solicitors 02893367025 to discuss and make a will if you feel you need to put your affairs in order.
