Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

I have question about changing a living will. Do we have to go back to the attorney that processed it for us or an attorney at all? My dad wants to change the will and we were wondering if we could write up an amendment and have it notarized with witnesses. Would that be valid when the will is finally read?
