• A codicil is a legal document that is used to make amendments or changes to an existing will, including the cancellation or revocation of specific provisions of the will. If you want to cancel a will or certain parts of it, you can do so by drafting a codicil. Here are the steps involved: Determine Your Intent: Decide which parts of your will you wish to cancel or revoke. This might include entire sections, specific bequests, or the entire will.A codicil is a useful legal instrument for making changes to a will without having to create an entirely new will. However, if you are making substantial changes or if your will has become very complex, it may be more practical to consult with an attorney to create a new will to ensure that your intentions are clear and legally sound. Additionally, it is essential to keep your estate planning documents up to date to reflect your current wishes and circumstances.
