Season 3 Ep. 1 Does your Will Need to be Updated?
5 February 2025
The Vicca Law Podcast
Season 3 Episode 1: Does your will need to be updated?In this week’s episode of The Vicca Law Podcast, the 2026 season kicks off with a timely look at one of the most fundamental questions in estate planning: does your Will need to be updated? Many people assume that once a Will is signed, it’s set for life—but this is rarely the case. Changes in relationship status, such as marriage, separation, or entering a de facto relationship, can significantly impact the validity and relevance of your Will under Queensland law. Other key reasons to update include the death or relocation of executors or beneficiaries, the birth of children, and changes in guardianship preferences. The episode also highlights lesser-known risks, such as naming an overseas resident as executor or leaving assets to beneficiaries who are now foreign residents. With practical examples and legal context, the discussion emphasises the importance of regularly reviewing your Will to ensure it reflects your current wishes and circumstances. Tune in to learn what life changes should prompt a Will review and how to ensure your estate plan remains effective, valid, and aligned with your intentions.
