Codicil to a Will (Ontario)

How it works

What you will fill in

• Does any of these apply to you?
• Your full legal name
• Your city or town, in Ontario
• Date your current will was signed
• What kind of change is this?
• The new wording
• Date you will sign the codicil

Good to know

• A codicil must be signed and witnessed exactly like a will: two witnesses who get nothing under it.
• If you are making many changes, a new will is clearer than several codicils.
• Never write changes by hand on your signed will. Use a codicil.

Help in your language

Every question comes with help like this. For example, “Does any of these apply to you?”:

English: If one does, a lawyer should check it before you sign. You can still make the full document here.

اردو: اگر ان میں سے کوئی بات ہو تو دستخط سے پہلے وکیل سے چیک کروائیں۔

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ: ਜੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਕੋਈ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਵਕੀਲ ਤੋਂ ਚੈੱਕ ਕਰਵਾਓ।

हिन्दी: अगर इनमें से कोई बात है तो दस्तख़त से पहले वकील से जाँच करवाएँ।

Français: Si l'une s'applique, faites vérifier le document par un avocat avant de signer. Vous pouvez quand même faire le document complet ici.
