It depends on how the will was written. I would be speculating if I said more, but if she needs or wants to change beneficiaries, then she should write a new will. If you would like more assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or visit my website at www.floridawillmaker.com.
Yes -It usually changes the survivor situation and the estate plan should be reviewed by a attorney because in most cases alot has happened since the original was written and now which is why it needs to be updated. I do this frequently for clients-if you need my help write me an e-mail with your phone number or call my office to discuss further.
