What Is A Codicil?

A codicil is a written change made to a document. It does not replace the entire document. Instead, if clarifies, adds to, or nullifies something in the original document. A codicil is useful because it reduces the amount of work required to change a legal document, such as a will. In most states, the codicil must be signed and dated by the person making the change to the document. It may also need to be witnessed by a notary.
