What is a codicil?
When you want to add something to your will or make a minor change, then you can make use of a codicil. A codicil is a schedule or annexure to an existing will, which is made to supplement or to amend an existing will. A codicil must comply with the same requirements for a valid will. A codicil need not be signed by the same witnesses who signed the original will.
What if I want to amend my will?
Must I amend my will after divorce?
A bequest to your divorced spouse in your will, which was made prior to your divorce, will not necessarily fall away after divorce.
