What, you had included back, may not need today and today’s requirements, may change tomorrow. You may need to add or to cut something time to time.

So, you should update your estate plan, and must leave a decided share to your spouse. Except this, if you have remarried, don’t forget updating your plan; including your child form your first spouse. Also your partner may marry again after you die.
