Why amend by codicil?

When your existing will is still fundamentally right, a codicil makes the specific change you need with the same legal formalities — faster and cleaner than starting over.

Amend without rewriting

Update an executor, beneficiary, or specific gift while the rest of your existing will stays in force.

State-specific execution

A codicil must be signed with the same formalities as a will. The state packet reflects your jurisdiction’s requirements.
