Final Takeaway. A codicil doesnt have to be docHubd in Texasbut it should be.
Below, you can view a free codicil to a will sample. Customize this template using Legal Templates document editor, and then download it as a PDF or Word file.
I, [testator], a resident of the City of [City] County of [county], State of [state], declare that this is the codicil to my last will and testament, which is dated [date original signed]. I add or change said last will in the following manner: [List with particularity all changes to the will.
Even if youve given power of attorney (POA) to a professional, they cant create one without your signature of approval. In other words, a codicil cant be added after your death. It can be as simple as writing your updated wishes by hand (as long as certain standards are met).
Does a Codicil Have to be docHubd? In short, no a codicil to a Will does not have to be docHubd. However, laws and requirements vary from state to state. A codicil does have to be signed in front of at least two witnesses who are not listed as beneficiaries, guardians, or executors in your Will.

All you need to do is make it in writing, explain that it is a codicil to your previous will, you need to explain who is getting the property, what property it is, then you sign it. You need to have two witnesses also sign it as well. By doing that, you create a valid codicil.
Potential for errors: There is a more docHub potential for errors when using a codicil than when creating a new will. A codicil might introduce conflicting terms with the original will, creating ambiguity and a lack of clarity. Limited scope: Codicils can only be used to make minor changes to your will.
