What is this form?
This Codicil to Will Form is a legal document that allows you to amend your existing will without creating an entirely new one. Unlike drafting a new will, a codicil lets you make specific changes while keeping the rest of your will intact. This form includes the necessary provisions to ensure that your original will remains valid, except where amended by the codicil, making it a simple solution for making updates to your estate planning document.
Key components of this form
- Identification of the testator with relevant dates
- Provisions for adding or revoking beneficiaries
- Clauses for appointing guardians for minor children
- Designations for the executor or personal representative of the estate

When to use this form
