I have separated from my spouse - Do I need to update my will?  

YES! If you are married and have recently separated from your spouse, you must update your Will

There is a generally a lengthy period of time in between separating and obtaining a divorce. If you were to pass away during this period, your spouse will be entitled to receive your assets, regardless of your separation and regardless of whether you are in the process of, or have finalised your property settlement. This serious risk can be avoided if you simply make a Will after you separate. If you were to pass away before you are legally divorced, the Will prevents your spouse being entitled to your assets.
