Procedure for Making Changes in Your Will

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CHANGES IN YOUR WILL

UPDATING A WILL

For updating your will, you can come to an experienced will attorney in Wisconsin, as they assure you that everything has been done according to state guidelines.

DRAFTING A CODICIL

Minor changes can be made to your Will by creating a Codicil. If you have many changes to make in your Will, then it is best to revoke the existing Will and have a new one drafted.

Prepare a Personal Property Memorandum

This option works only in the event of incorporating a Memorandum at the time of making your Will.

WRITE A NEW WILL

It’s often simpler to just cancel your old will and write another one if you want to make essential changes. But if you want to make many small changes to your will or significantly want to change your beneficiaries, then this is the most secured choice.

REPLACE YOUR WILL TO AVOID PROBATE

You may wish to allow your beneficiaries to avoid the expense and delay of the probate process. If your will is used, it WILL go through probate. There are many ways to avoid probate. We can educate you on these options, some of which are free to implement.
