I have a will in place but wish to change the executor and some of the content. The person who helped with the will has passed away. Can I write up the changes i wish to make to the original will? Does this have to be on a certain documnet?

An amendment to a Will is called a Codicil. It should be drafted by an attorney and must be signed, witnessed and notarized with the same formality as the Will. Things you write on the Will will be ignored by the Court. A Codicil is not a DIY project. Contact a local estate planning attorney.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
