How do you make an addendum to a will?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes. An addendum to a will is called a codicil in most jurisdictions. A codicil must state clearly the intentions of the testator and it must be executed in the same way a will must be executed in your jurisdiction. The codicil should be attached to the will. When substantial changes must be made it is sometimes better to write a new will. You should consult with an attorney to make certain the will and codicil are properly drafted for your jurisdiction.
