Can I alter my will if I change my mind?

Yes. You may alter your will at any time. If circumstances change, you can and should alter your will. However, you cannot simply make an alteration. All alterations or modifications must be documented legally.

If the alterations are minor, you can make a codicil (a separate document in which you change a provision in your will). However, it is usually safer to make an entirely new will. Like the will, a codicil must be signed in the presence of two witnesses.
