Making a Will – Gifts
Many people have items of sentimental value that they want to go to certain individuals. This can become complex in your Will and can also change regularly which means you would have to change your Will frequently.
A more efficient solution is to include a “Gift List†in your Will. This means your Will does not need to be changed if you change a gift. Instead, all you have to do is write out a list of items and who is to benefit from them and keep it with your Will.
Your Will should then include an instruction that tells your Executors to give gifts out in accordance with the Gift List that you have prepared. Do not staple the list to your Will but keep it alongside your personal papers or, preferably, place it in the back of your Will.
