The government has published a series of Codes of Practice (Codes) which provide guidance to investigators on the use of investigatory powers under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002). These Codes are published under various provisions and provide guidance to the exercise of different powers. Since the first Code of Practice (in relation to cash searches) came into force on 16 December 2002, a number of iterations of that Code and additional new Codes have been introduced.

Codicils may be used for making any alteration in a Will, such as to alter the executors or make changes in legacies, whether by addition or deletion. As a general rule, substantial changes are best achieved by means of a new Will and codicils are more appropriately used for the purposes of making minor alterations, such as a change of executors or an additional legacy. However, care needs to be taken even if only making a slight alteration by codicil as any changes can easily cause confusion. Care must be taken when drafting a codicil.
