Can A Last Will and Testament Be Changed?
Can a last will and testament be changed?
A last will and testament takes effect when the person who made it dies. It is possible to change it, but you need to follow the legal formalities. If you want to make large changes, you will probably need to make a new will. However, if you want to make a minor change, you can add a codicil.
A change in a last will and testament can be done for several reasons. A dissatisfied spouse can legally change the amount of money left to her children or grandchildren. This can be done by changing the percentage that she leaves to her beneficiaries. However, the spouse cannot make any changes to the other terms of the will.
In some states, a spouse is automatically entitled to a certain portion of the estate. In other states, however, it is possible to change the Will.
The cost of making a will change depends on a number of factors. Whether you want to use a lawyer or change the document yourself will determine the cost of the process. In addition, you'll need to consider the state in which you live and the complexity of the changes you wish to make.
