New Brunswick Codicil (Will Amendment)
Amend an existing will without rewriting it. A codicil under the Wills Act, RSNB 1973, c W-9, lets you change your executor, alter a gift, or add a bequest while keeping the rest of your will in force. A codicil must be signed in front of two witnesses, both present at the same time, and neither a beneficiary.
