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
