How Many Codicils Can You Have?

Just like your will, your codicil does need to be witnessed to be a valid document. Witnessing laws vary from state to state, but most require two witnesses when signing. Your witnesses should be disinterested, meaning they're not mentioned in your will and won't inherit anything from your estate.

What is the limit on how many codicils a will can have?

There is no legal limit to the number of codicils a person can have in his or her Will. However, the legitimacy of a Will may be called into question if it contains years upon years of unclear modifications and deletions.

Can you have more than one codicil to a will?

A will may be amended by more than one codicil. However, the more codicils there are, obviously the more complicated it becomes to keep track of their effects. Each subsequent codicil should refer explicitly to the original will and all previous codicils, and they should all be kept together.
