If the person who is in hospice is still mentally competent, at least to the fairly limited extent needed to execute a Will in Georgia, then yes, she could still execute a codicil. If she did not have the required level of mental capacity, or if you think there was undue influence by your sister or someone else, then you may be able to challenge the Will, if you haven't already consented to have it probated and it hasn't already been admitted to probate. But you will need to consult an estate litigator as soon as possible to see if it is worthwhile.
