If you’ve already made a will, your solicitor can add a gift to Epilepsy Action with an extra, legally-binding statement called a codicil, like the one shown below.
Even if you are making a will for the first time, your solicitor may need much of the same information. If you give this codicil wording to your solicitor you can be sure your gift will go to Epilepsy Action, not an organisation with a similar name.
| “ I give to Epilepsy Action (which is a working name of British Epilepsy Association) of New Anstey House, Gate Way Drive, Yeadon, Leeds LS19 7XY, Registered Charity no. 234343, ________________________ and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other proper Officer of the said charity shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the same." |
If you haven’t made a will yet
We strongly recommend you write or amend your will with the services of a solicitor. They will be able to guide you through the process of considering your assets, commitments and choosing executors.
