Want to update your Will?
If you are simply adding a donation to Lifelites to an existing Will, you can use a Codicil.
Adding a codicil means there's no need to change the terms of your current Will, it simply adds a new instruction.
A few simple rules for Codicils
- Do not cross out or write new instructions into your current Will as any changes will not be valid.
- As with Wills, two people need to witness you signing and dating the Codicil
- Keep the Codicil along with your current Will in a safe place.
- Send, or give, a copy of the Will and Codicil (in a sealed envelope, if you prefer) to your Executor or other trusted friend, with a note indicating where the original is held.
