How to complete Forces Support’s Codicil form

Attached you will find a blank Codicil form which you can complete.

• When you have completed the Codicil form, you should sign it in the presence of two witnesses, who then need to also sign the form in your presenceas indicated on the form.

• Your witnesses must not be beneficiaries in either your Will or your Codicil and must not be related to you.
