Absolutely. I’ve come across similar stories in my research. Quite unfortunate and sad. It seems like it would be a good idea to update around once every two years even if that just means changing the document so it’s dated more recently. I would imagine having a recently updated document opens it up to less scrutiny.
We’re also quite aware that the service we offer provides more of a foundation for one’s estate planning that someone would have to build on over time. One benefit is that you can download your completed will as an editable doc so that you can change, print and sign multiple times as necessary, though major life events likely require more attention than self-editing.

Great observations, Bernadette! Thanks! :)
