Mr Hendry had sensibly updated his will after he and his wife had split to ensure that his children would be the ones to benefit from his will - it is important to remember to update your will after any major life changes - births, deaths, marriages, divorce - otherwise you wont get to decide the law will!

Rosita Hendry, 52, married Michael Hendry, who was 20 years her senior, two years after meeting in the Philippines in 2001 and they lived together in East Molesey, Surrey.

Last weekend, Bev and two of her friends started climbing Snowdon at midnight to raise money for Mind UK - the mental health charity.

Whist it was a fantastic challenge that will be remembered always; you dont have to climb a mountain to support your favourite charity! Many people are now choosing to leave a gift to their preferred charity in their Will. Whether you want to support a cancer charity, animal rescue or an organisation such as Girlguiding we can arrange this for you.

Talk to us for information about how you can ensure your wishes are carried out.

Does your will need a review?

You should review your will every five years and after any major change in your life such as a new grandchild or moving house. Never make alterations on the original document.

If you are making a minor amendment to your will, you can add a supplement, known as a codicil. This must be signed and witnessed in the same way as the will, although the witnesses don’t have to be the same as the original ones.

If anything substantial needs to be changed, you should make a new will and cancel your old one.

Do I have to change my will if I get remarried or divorced?

If you marry, remarry or enter a civil partnership, this cancels a previously existing will. Divorce doesn’t automatically invalidate a will made during the marriage, but does exclude your ex-spouse or civil partner from benefitting if they are mentioned in the will. Arrange a new will if you marry, separate or divorce.
