Codicil (Modification to Will)

If you need to make a change to your will, you don't need to rewrite the entire thing. Just create a codicil (modification to will) and specify what part of the will you need to change. Reference each section number of the will and the specific language you will be affecting. Be as clear and precise as possible to avoid undue complications. This form is not a substitute for legal advice. When making a codicil, it's highly recommended to seek the advice of a qualified estate planning attorney to avoid complications and assure that your codicil clearly states your modified wishes.
