How to Create a Will Codicil

Completing the Codicil

Executing the Codicil

To make the codicil legally binding, the testator and witnesses need to sign it; however, there are certain requirements here that need to be followed. In most states, the witnesses must be at least 18 years of age and must be competent enough to understand the nature of their actions in witnessing the codicil and recall this later on. Furthermore, you cannot use anyone who is listed to inherit anything from your will or who has any other such bias or conflict of interest.

Almost all states require at least two witnesses to sign. The testator and all witnesses need to sit down together and sign the will in front of each other. After that you’re done! Make sure a copy of the codicil is kept in a safe place and others know of its location.
