Yes, I Can Help You Notarize a:
Will Codicil
A codicil is an amendment to an existing will, used to make minor changes or additions. It allows the testator to update their will without having to rewrite the entire document. This legal document must be signed and notarized to be valid.
Why Use a Notary?
Notarizing a codicil ensures that the testator is of sound mind and is making changes to their will voluntarily. It adds legal protection against challenges to the validity of the changes. Notarization also helps prevent fraud by verifying the identity of the testator. It provides legal proof that the codicil was executed properly and in compliance with state laws.
Notaries are not attorneys and therefore cannot draft legal documents. However, to better serve my clients, I recommend using LawDepot for affordable access to commonly used legal forms. This can help you save on the cost of hiring an attorney for document preparation.

Will Codicil
A Codicil to a Will is a legal document used to make minor changes or additions to an existing Last Will and Testament without rewriting the entire will. It allows the testator (the person who made the will) to update specific provisions—such as changing an executor, modifying a bequest, or adding new beneficiaries—while leaving the rest of the will intact.
Because a codicil affects an important estate planning document, it must be executed with the same legal formalities as the original will. In California, this typically includes being signed by the testator and witnessed by two disinterested adults.
While notarization is not required by California law for a codicil, many individuals choose to have it notarized to add an extra layer of authenticity, particularly when the codicil includes a self-proving affidavit. A mobile notary can assist with witnessing or notarizing as needed, depending on the document’s structure and requirements.
