Title
Updating a Will through a Codicil
Definition
This category covers an option for a person to update a will they already wrote, by using a supplementary document called a 'codicil'. This can be to change who will receive property, who the executor will be, who will be guardian for children, or other decisions that were in the original will. The document would be used to change the will without revoking the original. This category covers what makes a codicil valid, how it can be drafted, how it can be signed and verified, and how it may be used after death.
