Changing your WillIt’s very straight forward and you can change it whenever you like. When should you change your Will? If you get married, legally separated or divorced, or if you remarry, you’ll need to make a new Will. It’s also worth making a new Will if there are any other major changes in your circumstances, e.g. on the birth of children or grandchildren, or on the death of your partner. We also recommend that you review your Will every four to five years, because your situation and the value of your estate could well have changed enough to justify some changes to your old Will. You might also wish to review your Will if there have been major changes in the circumstances of anyone currently included in your Will. You can add a Codicil to your Will if you are only making minor changes. A Codicil is simply an addition or alteration to the Will which lets you add extra gifts or alter the amounts of the ones you’ve already made – rather like a P.S. to your Will. Each time you make a further change to your Will you can simply prepare a further Codicil. You may have as many Codicils as you like as long as they clearly refer to the original Will. You should keep them in the same place as your Will. If there are any major changes in your circumstances you should make a new Will. Please let us know if you would like to change your Will and leave a legacy to The Highland Society For Blind People. If you are able to a legacy to The Highland Society For Blind People, please tell us of your intentions. You can do this be returning the Pledge Form. It has to be signed and witnessed in the same way as your Will, in order to ensure that your Codicil ties in properly with your Will. You simply write down the amendment or addition you want to make to the Will and take it to your solicitor. Then sign the Codicil in the presence of two independent witnesses. These witnesses must not be named in, nor married to anyone named in your Will or any other Codicil. Click her to download the Legacy Pledge Form (PDF format). |
