There are a number of triggering events that should have you making a Will or updating a current Will. One such event is marriage. Do not fail to amend your Will after you get married.
If you marry after making a Will (with no mention of a current or future spouse) and do not change it before you die, then your surviving spouse will receive the share of the estate to which a spouse would be entitled if you died without making a Will. This may or may not meet with your intent. It is always better to make your own plan then having the State's plan imposed upon you.
