1. Address changes after I sign my Will and POAs?
An advantage of Legal Consolidated Wills, POAs and all our legal documents is that if:
- your address changes in your Wills, POAs or any other legal documents; or
- the addresses change for your executors, beneficiaries, attorneys in your POAs, attorneys and other parties in any contract
then you do not need to update your Wills, 3-Generation Testamentary Trust Wills, Enduring POA or Medical Lifestyle POAs. Your estate planning documents remain valid even if addresses change.
2. Address changes before I sign my Will and POAs?
Your address, your attorneys, your beneficiaries and your executors’ addresses must be correct at the date of signing.
What if an address changes before you get a chance to sign the Estate Planning document? Do not sign out-of-date Wills and POAs. Update the Will or POA before you sign. You can update your Wills and POAs as often as you wish. This is for any reason for the rest of your life. Just email us your Tax Invoice. We email you a voucher to update your Wills and POAs.
If all your Beneficiaries can potentially die with you, then put a Disaster Clause in your Will.
It is free to update Legal Consolidated Wills and POAs
Wills and POAs that you build on Legal Consolidated’s website can be updated for free. This is as often as you wish. So, if for any reason you want to update your Wills or POAs then you are welcome to do so.
