How do I change my Will after it's been signed?

You cannot simply cross out a sentence or add a new sentence to change your Will. You must either create a 'codicil' which is an amendment to your Will, or create a new Will.

A codicil can be used to make minor revisions without changing the entire Will. However, a codicil still must be signed and witnessed following the same formalities that were used for the Will itself. If you wish to make a lot of changes, you should rewrite your Will from scratch and include a formal statement in the new Will that revokes the old Will.

In some states, a divorce has the effect of revoking your Will, at least as to those provisions that relate to your former spouse.
