# Can I update my will after I have written it?

> Source: https://purewill.co.uk/faqs/can-i-update-my-will (updated 18 May 2026)

Yes. You can make a formal amendment (called a codicil) or simply write a new will that revokes the old one. PureWill wills include a revocation clause that automatically revokes any previous wills when you sign. You should review your will after any major life event: marriage, divorce, having children, or a significant change in your assets. Note: marriage automatically revokes a will under English law.
