Codicil

Learn how a codicil can modify your will, ensuring your estate planning reflects your most current wishes.

How does a codicil function in relation to a will?

A codicil acts as an amendment to an existing will, allowing individuals to make specific changes without rewriting the entire document. This can be particularly useful for updating beneficiaries or adding new assets. Codicils provide a convenient and legally recognized way to ensure your will remains aligned with your current life circumstances. They are often used when minor adjustments are needed, helping to maintain the original structure and intentions of the will while adapting to changes in family or financial situations.
