You can update your Will any time, for free. Here's how it works:
1. Sign in to your account. We'll send a verification code to your email to confirm it's you.
2. Open the section of your online form you'd like to change and edit the details there.
3. When you're done, download and print the updated Will document.
A few important things to remember once you've made changes:
- Your update isn't complete until the new document is signed and witnessed. Editing your online form doesn't change your existing signed Will — read the whole updated document, then carefully follow the signing and witnessing instructions included with it.
- The Will created by our platform is designed to revoke earlier Wills when it's properly signed and witnessed — so your new Will replaces the old one. To avoid confusion, it's generally best to destroy the old signed original once the new one is properly completed.
- Avoid writing changes onto a printed Will. Handwritten additions can create real problems — you can make changes through your online form and complete a new document instead.
- Store the new signed original somewhere safe and let your executor know where to find it. A digital copy on its own generally isn't a substitute — see our article on storing your Will.
