A Will amendment is an official way to make an update or change to an existing will. This type of update is also referred to as a codicil. Before officially completing a will amendment, it is important to ensure that the amendment document being used follows state laws and regulations. Any type of change to a will can only be done if the testator is of sound mind. Once the amendment is completed, a witness and a notary public will have to testify to the document. Once complete, this amendment must be attached to the original will.
