To be sure your gift will reach AMCS, there are a number of points that must be carefully checked:
AMCS recommends you seek independent legal advice when creating or updating your will.
Your solicitor can recommend appropriate wording. If necessary, ask your solicitor to contact us to discuss your wishes. An example of legally acceptable wording that can be included in your Will is:
