Making a will after remarriage
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
This is a letter the Certainty National Will Register has received from a member of the public.
I’ve been married four times and have 6 children. I clearly remember making a will when I married my first wife. When we separated and I remarried and had my second child with my second wife I thought about making a will again for some time and eventually got around to doing it but it then occurred to me what would happen if my first wife had kept a copy of my first will from my previous marriage? So I spoke to the solicitor who said that my new will would supersede my old will however I should contact my original solicitor who holds the original will to destroy the original first will.
After a short time of being married to my second wife we split up and eventually got divorced and when I re-married I had to make again another will again with a different solicitor because the former solicitor was acting on behalf of my wife. Sadly my third wife passed on after 5 happy years of marriage and 2 children. We had made mirror wills so I did not need to do anything with the will. I have recently remarried and thinking of making a will and have had to back-track to ensure that previous wills are not discovered to ensure that my children receive the benefits I wish for them to receive.
Be Safe and use Certainty to register a will on the UK’s National Will Register.
