Leave a Legacy to the work of CNI Network:
Without legacies many charities simply will not be able to continue their work. By remembering your favourite causes in this special way, you can be sure your faith and values will live on for decades to come.
Leaving a legacy gives you the opportunity to make a difference to the world left behind to your loved ones. It also gives you a chance to express what matters most to you in life, whether a specific cause, or maybe a particular group of people.
To change your Will, you cannot simply write changes on an existing Will. Such alterations are assumed to have been made after the Will was executed and so they do not form part of the original legally valid Will.
The only way a last Will and testament can be legally changed is by:
A codicil is simply an addition or change to your current Will. You may choose to do a codicil because rewriting your Will in its entirety can be time consuming and costly. The codicil is a simple, easy document that is helpful for simple changes, brought about by a death, a birth, a divorce, a move, or the addition of a bequest to a charity.
As a rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new Will.
If you need to make a major change to your Will, or make more than one or two minor alterations, it is best to make a new one.
IS IT SIMPLE TO CHANGE MY EXISTING WILL? SHOULD I UPDATE IT?
YES AND YES! If you want to make changes this is done through something called a codicil. If you are changing your Will through a codicil, it is advisable that you seek advice from a solicitor. If it is five years or more since you last wrote your Will, it is probably a good idea to review it. Legal and tax changes, as well as changes in your personal circumstances, could mean that your Will no longer provides you with the best solutions. It is advisable for you to reconsider the contents of a Will regularly to make sure that it still reflects your wishes. Some changes in circumstance – like getting married or divorced for instance – can affect your Will, so it’s important to keep it up to date.
