Question

Ruby and Chris were married three years ago. At that time, they both wrote wills leaving their assets to the other person. Since that time, they have adopted two children. How can they alter their wills without rewriting the wills entirely?
a. Add a letter of last instructions.
b. Add a holographic appendix.
c. Add a codicil.
d. Add a residual clause.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option C

C. Add a codicil

Explanation:

A codicil is a document that looks similar to a will but not exactly a will. It serves as an amendment to a will or as an alternative to a will but not exactly a replacement.

So in the case of Ruby and Chris who do not want to write a new will, they can add a codicil to the existing will to include their children.
