Gifts in Wills FAQ

I already have a Will. Can I update it to include Yorkshire Cancer Research?

You can add a codicil for minor changes to your Will, including adding a charity. A codicil is a supplement which is kept with, but not attached to, your Will. Please speak to a solicitor about a codicil if you would like to leave a fixed sum of money or specific items to Yorkshire Cancer Research in your Will.

To avoid the risk of inconsistencies between the original Will and codicil, it's a good idea to check with a solicitor that this codicil will fit with your existing arrangements. If more extensive changes are required, or if you would like to leave a percentage of your estate to Yorkshire Cancer Research, we strongly recommend that you consult a solicitor.
