FAQ

How can I revoke my will?

A will by its very nature can be revoked. There are four methods of revocation:

  • marriage or civil partnership, except a will made in the exercise of a power of appointment;
  • burning, tearing or otherwise destroying of a will or codicil by the testator with the intention of revoking it;
  • drafting of another will or codicil executed in the manner required by law; and
  • duly executed writing by the testator declaring an intention to revoke.
  • No will, when revoked, will be revived otherwise than by re-execution or codicil.

What happens to any assets that I left for my child(ren) who have died before me?

Where a will named a testator’s child as a beneficiary and that child dies before the testator but left a child(ren) of their own, that child(ren) will be entitled to receive their parent’s share of the estate.
