NOW HERE’S SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER…

If you had a will previous to getting married it may now be invalid. The existing law reads that unless your will specifically states that it is made in contemplation of marriage to the person you do marry, your will is deemed to be invalid upon any subsequent marriage. While many young people do not have wills previous to their getting married, many other people may be embarking on their second (or third, etc..) trip down the aisle and usually already have wills which distribute their estate to their existing families. Beware, these wills are no longer valid. Couples starting families should also consider making wills. Most couples create wills which leave everything to the survivor should anything happen to one of them and in case both are gone the estate is divided among their children. This can be set out in a will even before the children are born. In addition to this, couples with young families should appoint a guardian for their children in the will. Creating a will now, will allow you to concentrate on more important things once children come along.
