Wills 'can be changed to donate to charities'
09 April 2009
People have a couple of options when deciding to have a charity as a benefactor in the will, claims a spokesperson for Remember a Charity. He says the most straightforward way of going about this is to get the will re-written, which can be done with the expertise of a solicitor to hand.
Another option is to get a codicil added to an existing will, the spokesman claims, although he says that "getting it rewritten is much more straightforward and takes all of the complication out of it". Having a codicil put on the end of a will, however, means that if a will is cancelled, the additional wishes will still stand.
The government emphasises the importance on making a will, stating that it is necessary to show how assets will be allocated. The Remember a Charity expert says many people are still opting to give money to good causes when they die, either through stating a sum they wish to donate or through a percentage of an overall estate.
