Definition of "Codicil"
A codicil is an amendment to a Last Will and Testament. A codicil is used when you are happy with the contents of your will but need or want to make minor changes. A codicil leaves your original will intact but makes specific changes, such as adding or deleting a beneficiary, a bequest, a guardian or an attorney-in-fact. A codicil is executed in the same manner as a will.
