Probably not, but it is difficult to say for certain with out reading them. It is always better to have an attorney review them when circumstances have changed. You may want to change how your property is held, though, in case there is an issue with the WIll. Jpintly held property as husband and wife hold survivorship rights so there will never be an issue. Good luck.
