To avoid the expense of having a new Will drawn up, minor alterations can be made to an existing Will by means of a codicil, which is an amending document.

This is a codicil to the Last Will and Testament of [Name], of [Address], to my will dated [Date of Will].
I leave to the Alberta Lung [Details of gift: specify whether sum of money, percentage, residual or contingency].
