About Codicils

What is a Codicil?

A Codicil is a document that alters part of your existing Will but leaves the rest of the Will intact. 

They are separate to the Will itself and must be stored alongside your Will. This will ensure your Executors are aware of any changes you have made to your Will when dealing with your estate.

We are more than happy to discuss your requirements, however, in some cases, it may be advisable to make a new Will. 

If a Codicil makes drastic changes to a Will, the court may get involved to help oversee the handling of your estate.  This is more likely if there are multiple Codicils to the original Will.  

It is recommended that a new Will is made for changes involving more than 10% of your estate.
