Before you start writing your will, you need to consider a number of factors:

• If you have children under the age of eighteen, they cannot legally inherit anything you bestow until they have turned eighteen. Anything you leave to them in your will is held in a trust (managed by a solicitor or guardian) until they come of age. If you would prefer that they inherit at a later age, you can stipulate this in your will.

• Another important factor to consider is whether you need to appoint a guardian for your children. This is a good idea if you specifically have someone in mind who may not perhaps be the obvious choice.

• If you have already written a will but have since married or remarried, you will need to update your will. It will otherwise be declared invalid.

• If you have already written a will but have since divorced, anything you have gifted to your divorced spouse will lapse. If you do still want to leave an asset or gift to your divorced spouse, it is advisable to update your will.
