- If you already have a Will: If you would like to include a bequest to The Cricketers Trust in your existing Will, you can make a simple modification by adding a codicil (a codicil is a supplement to a Will that is intended to alter or modify it). To make sure your codicil is legal, we recommend it is checked and approved by your lawyer.
- If you don’t have a Will: A Will is an important legal document so it should be prepared by your lawyer. It’s important to discuss options and specific wording with your lawyer to make sure your Will reflects your wishes clearly, giving specific guidance on how you want your assets and personal belongings distributed when you die.
