Possibly not, but at any point when you have life changes, it's a good idea to review your will documents and see if they should be changed. That includes your Will, your Financial Power of Attorney, your Advance Health Care Directives, Your Health Care Power of Attorney, and any related documents. It also depends on whether you had an experienced estates lawyer prepare and supervise the signing of those documents, or whether you used DIY documents.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
