Sample Codicil
When it’s time to update your will, you don’t have to start from scratch.
You can use a codicil, an addition or supplement that explains or modifies your existing will.
I give, devise, and bequeath $ ___________ to the Baltimore Symphony Endowment Trust, 1212 Cathedral Street, Baltimore MD 21201, for its charitable uses and purposes.
In all other respects I ratify and confirm all of the provision of my said last Will and Testament dated on the _________ day of ______________, 20__.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I sign, publish and declare this instrument to be a Codicil to my last Will and Testament in the presence of the persons witnessing said Codicil at my request this _____ day of ___________, 20__.
_________________________ residing at __________________________
(name)
Witnesses
_________________________ residing at __________________________
(name)
_________________________ residing at __________________________
(name)
The codicil, to be valid, must be signed in the presence of witnesses, and the original placed with your other valuable papers. A copy can go to your lawyer and a copy to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
