Codicil to Will Kit Overview!

A legal codicil form allows you to modify the provisions of your last will & testament without the need to draft an entirely new will. Generally, the majority of modifications made by a codicil form tend to either add or revoke minor provisions of a will. For example, typical modifications may include the gifting of a new asset you purchased to a beneficiary, the changing of executors, the changing of beneficiaries, the appointment of guardians, etc. Alternatively, the modifications may have a substantial impact on the provisions of the will such as where there is a change of the residuary beneficiary (i.e. the beneficiary who receives the remainder of your estate after all debts and taxes have been paid and all other specific gifts have been made).

If you don’t update your will to reflect changes in your circumstances or those of the people named in your will, then:-

 Your possessions (or at least some of them) could end up being divided in accordance with the laws of intestacy and your personal wishes in relation to the gifting of those assets can be disregarded completely!

 Your possessions and the winding up of your estate could be placed under the control of a person appointed by a court - this could be a family memeber that you would not wish to have trawling through your affairs or even a total stranger!

 Your children could be placed into the care of a guardian appointed by a court - this again could be a total stranger!
