Benefits of an Estate Planning Lawyer

Codicil:

A Codicil to a will is actually an amendment and it is possible once you execute your primary will to make changes. You may want to change the name of an executor, you may want to leave somebody out that you had already previously given something to. Whatever the change is, you don’t have to reexecute an entirely brand new instrument . You can execute what is called a Codicil. A Codicil looks the same as a will but it is much shorter. It simply refers to the paragraph you want to change, makes the change and then you sign it in front of two witnesses in the same way that you executed your original will and it amends the will.
