What is a Codicil?
A Codicil is a legal document used to alter an existing (and current) will. Codicils are used to make one or a few minor, non-complex changes to a will. Making a Codicil can be more efficient than creating a whole new will.
When should I use a Codicil?
Use this Codicil:
- when you already have a valid and current will in place, which you want to alter
- if none of the changes you’re making are complex
- if you only want to make one change or a few changes to your will
- if you live in England, Scotland or Wales
