Codicil to the Last Will and Testament (General)
A codicil is a document that allows you to amend your last will and testament. These amendments can be relatively minor, such as where you appoint new executors, make new gifts, or release someone from a debt.
A Codicil does have to be signed in front of at least two witnesses who are not listed as beneficiaries, guardians, or executors in your Will.
You can use a codicil to make minor changes to your will, like:
- Changing your executor
- Updating beneficiaries — either adding new ones, or removing existing ones
- Updating your gifts to a beneficiary — you can add or remove gifts, or change the amount
- Updating your guardian selection, if you have children under 18
If you have a lot of changes to make, or if you already have a codicil, consider rewriting your will completely to prevent any confusion with your documents.
