Yes, you can update a Will in New York State. Life changes often bring new priorities, and your Estate Planning documents should always reflect those priorities. Updating your Will ensures that your wishes are current and legally enforceable, which helps to protect your loved ones and assets.
There are a number of occasions that commonly prompt people to revise their Wills. Significant life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child often necessitate updates to include new beneficiaries and/or remove old ones. Acquiring substantial assets, such as a home or business, or significant changes in financial circumstances may also warrant revisions. If a situation develops where your chosen executor is no longer able to serve, you’ll need to appoint a replacement, or risk having the estate administration process left to the courts.
