Codicil to Will (New Jersey)

A Codicil to a Will, specific to the jurisdiction of New Jersey within the United States of America, is a legal template used to make amendments or modifications to an existing Last Will and Testament. This document enables individuals to revise provisions, add new instructions or directives, or revoke certain sections of their Will without having to entirely rewrite their testamentary document. A Codicil holds the same legal validity as the original Will and must comply with the laws of New Jersey to be considered legally binding. It is typically used to ensure that a person's testamentary wishes are up-to-date and accurately reflect their current intentions, helping to address any changes in personal circumstances, family dynamics, estate assets, or tax laws.
