Guide To Writing an Islamic Will

Codicils I, II and III are part of this Will.

Codicil I

List of all my Property/Assets

(Here make a list of all your property including: cash, bank accounts* (local and foreign), off shore accounts, life assurances, real estate, jewellery (kept for the purpose of investment), shares/stocks, lockers and others)

The Codicils are part of your Will. Since the Codicils are likely to change over time the Codicil which has the latest date and which is attached to this Will, forms part of the Will and revokes all former Codicils made by you. Therefore the dates on the Codicil may not necessarily correspond with the date on the Will. Please ensure that you sign your latest Codicils and date it.
