Connecticut Will

Making changes to your will You cannot amend your will after it's been signed and witnessed. The only way you can change a will is by making an official alteration called a codicil. You must sign a codicil and get it witnessed in the same way as witnessing a will.

1. Law. an addition to a will, that changes, explains, revokes, or adds provisions. 2. an appendix or supplement.

A codicil is a legal document that changes specific provisions of a last will and testament but leaves all the other provisions the same.

1 : a legal instrument made to modify an earlier will. 2 : appendix, supplement.

A codicil has to be signed and witnessed in the same way as your original will, but you don't need to use the same witnesses. Don't use someone as a witness if they or their husband/wife or civil partner benefits from a gift in the codicil it will make the gift to them (in the codicil) invalid.

A codicil may be a legally binding amendment to a will. It can add, further explain, modify, or revoke portions of a given will.

A codicil is a document that amends an existing will, but does not replace it. It allows you to change your will without making an entirely new will, and must be signed in the exact same way as the will was signed (although the two witnesses do not have to be the same two people that witnessed the original will).

A codicil is an instrument made in relation to a Will, explaining, altering or adding to its dispositions and is deemed to be a part of the Will. A codicil has to be executed and attested like a Will. A codicil is similar to a Will and is governed by the same rules as a Will.

Rather than taking the will to an attorney, you may attempt to change the will yourself. Not all handwritten changes to a will may be valid, however.A codicil is a legal document, added to your will, through which you can make valid changes to your estate plan.
