Codicil to Last Will & Testament - Indiana
Codicil to Last Will and Testament
Before you use this: Identify the existing will and every prior codicil by date, and fill in each change precisely. Choose two competent, disinterested witnesses. This form uses an in-person signing with both witnesses present; each witness signs in the testator's presence and in the other witness's presence.
I, [TESTATOR'S FULL LEGAL NAME], of [CITY AND COUNTY], Indiana, declare this document to be a codicil to my Last Will and Testament dated [__/__/____] (the Will). I am of sound mind and eligible to make a will under Indiana law.
My prior codicils to the Will are: [LIST EACH BY DATE, OR WRITE “NONE”].
Changes to the Will
I make the following changes. Each entry identifies the affected provision of the Will or an earlier codicil and states the replacement or added text in full.
Change 1 — affected provision: [ARTICLE, SECTION, AND DATE OF AFFECTED DOCUMENT]
☐ I revoke that provision and replace it with this text:
[INSERT THE FULL REPLACEMENT PROVISION]
☐ I add this new provision after that provision:
[INSERT THE FULL NEW PROVISION]
Change 2 — affected provision, if any: [ARTICLE, SECTION, AND DATE OF AFFECTED DOCUMENT, OR WRITE “NONE”]
☐ I revoke that provision and replace it with this text:
[INSERT THE FULL REPLACEMENT PROVISION]
☐ I add this new provision after that provision:
[INSERT THE FULL NEW PROVISION]
I intend these stated changes to control. I do not revoke the Will or any prior codicil except to the extent expressly stated here. All provisions not changed by this codicil remain as written. This codicil does not claim that the Will has been re-executed on today's date.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
