How Can I Modify My Will in Nevada?
The process of modifying a will in Nevada is not an overly complex process. In fact, there are two ways to modify your will. The first method is to simply create a new will. The new will must meet all the same legal requirements as the original will, such as being signed by the testator and attested by two witnesses. In many situations, this is the simplest and easiest way to modify your will, especially if major changes are needed.
The other method for modifying a will is to add a codicil (or amendment) to the existing will. A codicil is generally used when the changes are minor. This is a separate document that is created and attached to the will, and this document must also be signed and witnessed.
