Codicil
A codicil is a document that changes or adds to an existing will without redoing the whole thing.
Overview
A codicil is a document that changes or adds to an existing will without redoing the whole thing.
It is useful for small changes, such as naming a new liquidator or adding a gift. For larger changes, a new will is often clearer. A notary can advise which option is better and make sure the documents work together.
Good to know
- Change a liquidator or an heir
- Add or remove a specific gift
- Correct a detail in the will
- Make sure the earlier will remains consistent
