I made a will when I lived in Wales six years ago, so the address on it is now obviously wrong. Do I have to have it altered, or can I do it myself? I’d like to appoint my grandson executor; currently the solicitor who drafted the will in Wales is down to do the job.
You don’t need to change the address on the will. The fact that you no longer live there any more won’t make the will invalid as long as it’s still recognisably yours. Don’t go writing on it whatever you do. However in order to change the executor you will either have to draw up a new will or add a codicil, so see a solicitor. It’s recommended that you review your will every five years in any case.
