'Do I need a new will? - I already have one...'
You should review your will regularly - but that doesn't necessarily mean you need a new one.
YOU NEED A NEW WILL IF:
* your will specifies your children by name as beneficiaries and you have had another baby in the meantime;
* your will makes cash gifts that you no longer have the money for unless your house is sold;
* your named executors can no longer act;
* the executor is the Public Trust or a lawyer and you don't want your estate to have to pay the level of fees they will charge;
* your ex-spouse/ex-partner is the executor and your separation/ dissolution happened after the will was made;
* you have married or entered a long-term relationship since making the will;
* you have changed your mind about who gets what, or your will specifies particular property that you no longer own;
* you need to appoint a 'testamentary guardian' for your children, and your current will does not do this.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
