If you already have a will but want to change the executive of the will can you just get a codicil done and then it would be ok when you die?

Yes. You could make a change in the executor by using a codicil. The codicil should take the same form as the will with the same number of witnesses and with an acknowledgement. You should state clearly your intentions by declaring that you intend to strike the article that appointed the executor and substitute a new article naming the new executor. You should have the change supervised by an attorney.

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.

How do you make an addendum to a will?
The best idea is to do it the same way the original will was done. If a lawyer drafted the will, have him handle any addendums. Probably the best idea is to do an entirely new will, to avoid any possibility of confusion. Its possible to make a holographic addendum to even a will drafted by a lawyer, but the same requirements would apply to a holographic addendum as would apply to a holographic will - it must be in the handwriting of the testator, written in cursive script and not printed, signed by the testator, and found among his important papers after his death.
Can you change someone's will?
Yes, a living person can change their will, either by writing a new one or by adding a codicil. In both cases the new/replacement will or codicil need to be formally witnessed to be legal. Once the person is dead or is no longer mentally competent, the will can not be changed. However, depending on the laws of the country in which you live, it may be possible to modify the terms of a will if ALL beneficiaries and the Executor agree to go to court to do this to get a " deed of variation". However, if one party does not agree then the will must be followed as the deceased specified.
Does a codicil need to be notarized?
That will depend on the jurisdiction. It would have to match the requirements for a will.-----------------------------------------------------------Yes. Each codicil must conform to the same legal requirements as the original will, such as the signatures of the testator and, typically, two or three (depending on the jurisdiction) disinterested witnesses.
Can an executor named in a Will witness the signature to a Codicil to the Will?
No. A codicil is an "amendment" to a Will. As such, it must be signed by the testator (maker of the Will) with the same formality as the Will was signed. An executor does not assume his/her/its power until the death of the testator; until then, the executor has no power. After death, the Will cannot be changed. A trustee may be appointed in a Will to act in some administrative capacity with respect to the property of a testator. Alternatively, a trustee may be appointed by a trust document executed by another person during that person's life. If so done, the trustee is charged with carrying out the terms of the trust, and has no greater powers than granted by the trust.
