What Is Estate Planning?

Estate planning involves the careful preparation of legal documents, including your will, to direct how your assets are distributed after you pass. After a divorce, this process becomes even more critical. It allows you to remove outdated provisions that may have favored a former spouse and to clearly designate your current beneficiaries.

Benefits of Rewriting Your Will After Divorce

Updating your will ensures that your hard-earned assets go to the people who matter most to you. A new or revised will offers peace of mind by confirming that your estate is distributed according to your current wishes. It protects your financial legacy, supports your family’s security, and minimizes the risk of disputes among potential heirs. With our service, you gain access to expert legal counsel who will help you craft a clear, enforceable document tailored to your unique needs.

The Risks of Passing On Without a Will in Nigeria

In Nigeria, dying without a will can have serious disadvantages. Without clear instructions, your assets may be distributed based on customary or state laws rather than your personal wishes. This can lead to lengthy legal battles, family disputes, and unintended beneficiaries receiving your property. The uncertainty of intestate succession often results in delays and complications that can diminish the value of your estate and create emotional strain on your loved ones.

Let Unbound help you secure a smooth, secure future. Our experienced legal team will guide you through every step of the estate planning process, ensuring that your will reflects your current situation and protects your legacy.

Freequently Asked Question

What is estate planning and why do I need it?

Estate planning is the process of creating or updating a legally binding will that specifies how your assets are distributed when you pass away. After divorce, it ensures your former spouse is removed and your current wishes — for your children, family, or other beneficiaries — are clearly documented.

What happens if I die without a will in Nigeria?

Dying intestate (without a will) means Nigerian law dictates how your estate is divided — often resulting in delays, family disputes, and unintended beneficiaries receiving your assets. This can erode your estate’s value and create emotional hardship for your loved ones.

What does Unbound’s Estate Planning service include?

We guide you through a step‑by‑step process to draft or revise your will, confirm legal compliance, and register your document. Our service also covers beneficiary designations, guardianship provisions for minors, and secure storage of your final will.

How long does it take and what are the costs?

Most wills can be drafted or updated within 5–7 business days. We will connect you with an experienced Estate Lawyer who will provide one-on‑one consultations, legal drafting, and registration support.

Can I update my will later if my circumstances change?

Yes. Life events like remarriage, birth of a child, or acquiring new assets require revisiting your will. Unbound makes it easy to amend your document anytime to reflect your evolving wishes.
