How to Prepare a Codicil to a Last Will and Testament?
A Codicil is a document used to include a minor change to a will that is already prepared. Instead of having an entirely new will prepared, you may be able to just have a Codicil prepared with the change that you are requesting. You would then keep the original Codicil with your original Will.You will need to have at least a copy of your current Will in order to prepare a Codicil as well as any other Codicils that you have had prepared. The Codicil will have the same heading as your will except you will be referring to it as Codicil to Last Will and Testament of YOU, dated on the ___ day of _____.First, determine the change that you are making to the Will. If you are changing the name of your personal representative, the beneficiaries, or just changing the spouse or deleting a former spouse.Next, you will need the exact article and line that is being changed and refer to them in the Codicil. When you have included the change to be made to the article and line, you will also need to include a statement that the rest of the Will is to remain unchanged.Last, make sure you include the date which of course must be after the date of your Will. You will also need to sign the Codicil and in many states you will need two witnesses and a notary public when you sign the Codicil. If your Will required witnesses and a notary, your Codicil may also.Store the Codicil with your original Will. If you have filed it with Court, your Codicil will need to be filed also. Otherwise, you can either add it to your safe deposit box or where else you are keeping the original Last Will and Testament.Keep in mind that you cannot just handwrite changes onto your Will or Codicil. Handwriting on either one may be just ignored or may void the document completely. If you are not completely sure whether you need a Codicil or a brand new Will, you may want to contact an attorney to make sure. Major changes may require a new Will instead of a Codicil.
