Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

That is a question for the lawyers you contact.

Each lawyer has their own fee structure based on their experience. A codicil can be simple or complicated, and sometimes is not the best solution.

Generally codicils are a bad idea, as two documents rather than one have to be probated and reconciled. Usually a new will is smarter, and the cost of that and a codicil will be about the same. As for a specific cost you'd have to call me at to details to get a specific quote. 404-768-3509

I agree with Attorney Ashman for the most part. Depending on the changes you wish to make, doing a codicil may make no sense - with the advent of word processors/personal computers, its not much trouble for me or any other lawyer to just do a new will. And codicils have to be witnessed and notarized just the same as for wills as I noted.

However, if you are making a very minor change (like changing the executor to be B instead of A), then a codicil may work just fine.

As my colleagues noted, fees will vary from attorney to attorney depending on what you need done. If cost is a concern, then it does not hurt to shop around and get quotes. But this is really not the forum to do it.

You may also want personal in-office service that only local counsel can provide. If that is the case, I am sure that any of my colleagues here would be glad to assist. If that is less important, then please email me the details of what you need, and I may be able to give you a ballpark figure. You can reach me at [email protected].
