What is a Codicil
Codicil -- it's a fancy legal word for amendment. If you have an existing will that needs a minor update for your nomination of personal representative, guardian, percentage bequeathed, etc. -- a codicil is a term you need to know. Executed in the same manner as a will, it is the legal way to change an element within your existing will.
