Codicil to a Will — Amend Your Will Without Rewriting It
Need to make a small change to your will without rewriting it? For $49 we draft a clear codicil built from your answers — it identifies your existing will by date, sets out the one or two amendments you want (change your executor, add or change a gift, update a name, or revoke a clause), and confirms the rest of your will is unchanged. It comes with the signature and two-witness block a codicil needs, and the instructions to sign and witness it correctly. You download it straight away and sign it yourself, and keep it with your original will.
What this document does
- For $49 we draft a clear codicil built from your answers — it identifies your existing will by date, sets out the one or two amendments you want (change your executor, add or change a gift, update a name, or revoke a clause), and confirms the rest of your will is unchanged.
- It comes with the signature and two-witness block a codicil needs, and the instructions to sign and witness it correctly.
- Records the facts that matter on paper: what you are changing, the change, in detail, will-maker, date of the original will.
- Calm and courteous: says what happened and what you would like, and invites a conversation. No legal threats.
- Delivered as a PDF you download the moment it is ready.
What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- What do you want to change in your will?
- Now tell me exactly what the change is, in your own words. Be specific — for a new executor, their full name and how you know them; for a gift, the item or amount and who it goes to; for a name change, the old name and the new name; to revoke a clause, which clause (for example 'the gift of my car to my brother'). If you have more than one change, list each one.
- What is your full legal name — the name you made your will in — and the suburb you live in? (You are the will-maker. You will give your state next.)
- What is the date of the will you are amending? This is the date written on your existing will — the codicil has to identify it. If you are not certain of the exact date, give your best record of it.
- Do you still have your original signed will? A codicil is kept with the original will and refers to it, so it is important you can locate it.
