How do you amend a will?

Answer 1

You can amend a will through a document known as a codicil.

This is simply a document in which you make any changes you want to your existing will. You should make it very clear what parts of the will you're referring to, in order to avoid ambiguity. For example, if the paragraphs are numbered, refer to the ones you wish to change by their number.

Also, to be valid, a codicil must meet all the formalities required for the will itself. So, it will have to be signed, and attested by at least 2 witnesses (in most states).

Answer 2

To amend a will, you can create a codicil, which is a document that specifies the changes you want to make to your existing will. The codicil must be signed and witnessed in the same way as a will. Alternatively, you can create a new will that revokes the old will and includes the updated provisions. It is advisable to seek the assistance of an attorney to ensure the amendments are made correctly and in accordance with applicable laws.
