A bequest is a gift of personal property made under the terms of a Last Will and Testament. It doesn't take effect until the testator has died. A testator can make changes to her Will at any time before death. She can destroy the Will and write a new Will. She can destroy the Will and not write a new one. She can make changes to an existing Will by attaching a codicil that carefully explains the changes she wants to make. Once a testator has died the Will becomes irrevocable.
