Description

A codicil is a legal document that serves as an amendment or supplement to an existing will. It allows individuals to make changes, additions, or revisions to their will without the need to create an entirely new document. Codicils are commonly used for minor adjustments, such as updating beneficiaries, altering bequests, or modifying executor appointments. This document ensures that the original will remains valid while incorporating the specified updates, providing a streamlined way to reflect current wishes in estate planning. Codicils must comply with the same legal requirements as the original will, including proper execution and witnessing, to be legally binding.
