You can make minor alterations to your Will without having to draft a new Will by using a document called a Codicil. Codicils confirm a previous Will document but make a few changes. For use in the UK.
If a small number of changes are required it is a simpler alternative to re-writing the entire Will. By using a Codicil any of the details in the Will can be changed. The use of Codicils is further explained in Alterations to a Will in our on-line DIY Wills Guide, which you are advised to read.
You can view a sample online of a completed Codicil used to change a will by following this link: View Sample.
