4. Codicil
A codicil is an addition to an already written will. If you already have a will in place, you can ask your solicitor to add in a codicil about leaving your legacy.
Leaving your Legacy is a pledge to support us, and it’s important to remember that you will not be committed to gifting us anything that you don’t have. If you do include us in your legacy, we would love for you to let us know. Please drop us a note about including us in your will, so we can thank you properly, or if you have any questions.
