codicil
n. A document supplementary to a will, which is executed with the same formalities under the Wills Act 1837 (see execution of will) and adds to, varies, or revokes provisions in the will. It must be proved with the will see proving a will. A codicil confirming a will normally republishes the will (see republication of will) and may revive a will that has been revoked if that is the testator’s clear intention. If many changes are made to the will it is better to execute a new will.
