When it’s time to update your will, you don’t have to start from scratch.

You can use a codicil, an addition or supplement that explains or modifies your existing will.

The codicil, to be valid, must be signed in the presence of witnesses, and the original placed with your other valuable papers. A copy can go to your lawyer and a copy to ADL.

Before executing the Codicil to your Will or any other documents, you should seek advice from qualified advisors and experts to determine if such documents align with your estate plans and applicable law. Once your final documents are executed, please provide a copy to the Anti-Defamation League Foundation.
