My husband and I made our wills in l977. Are they still good.

Dear South Carolina, I just revived from fainting after reading your question-smile.  Let's see, 1977 was 35 years ago.....surely a few things have happened in your lives in 35 years which would require a revisiting (and possible revision) of your wills.  I suggest you run-don't walk-to an estate planning attorney and at least have your wills reviewed.  On the issue of filing, usually a will is filed at the time of death; however, some jurisdictions do allow filing of wills upon creation.  Congratulations on at least 35 years (if not more) of marriage and wishes for many more.
