You should revisit your will periodically. Why? Because things change. Your designated executor might die before you do. You might divorce your spouse. Or you might remarry. You could adopt children or have new children. You could have a severe falling out with an adult child. Each of these situations creates scenarios which would cause you to either need or want to make a change in your will. However, you won\u2019t necessarily think of your will while you\u2019re in the middle of a change or an upheaval. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to make a habit out of periodically reviewing your will. Most of the time, there will probably be little or nothing to change. That\u2019s okay. The practice itself is what is important. Someday, something will change, and you\u2019ll feel better knowing that you are on top of things. If you have a revocable living trust his periodic review also gives you a chance to add or remove assets from the trust if you wish. Of course, all of this depends on you having a reasonable estate plan in place to begin with. Some estates can be quite complex, and you will need the guidance of an experienced estate attorney..."}
