Succession
Wills and marriage contracts: review them every five years
Families and assets change. Reviewing your arrangements regularly spares your heirs disputes and surprises.
A will is not a document for eternity. A marriage, a divorce, a grandchild, the sale of a house — each of these events can overtake a carefully written disposition.
What can change
Marital status and children
Value and composition of the assets
Domicile, for instance after moving abroad
Statutory compulsory shares
Our advice
Take out your will, inheritance contract and marriage contract every five years — and after every major event. A short addendum is often enough.
The best disposition is one nobody has to argue about later.
