Does Will Drawn Up In Uk Cover Foreign Assets?

My sister had a will drawn up 2 years ago in The UK. It leaves everything equally between her two sons. She's moving to The Europe soon, where she will get temporary residence then possibly permenent residence. Will her will cover any assets in the country she will move to as well as UK assets? Or will she need to draw up a new will the the country where she has residence?

    She would be best to have a new will drafted in the country to which she is moving. I know in Spain it can cause problems if you do not.
