Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
My husband and I made a will out 1989 when our children were small. I was just reading it over and my sister is named Executor and the guardian for our children which are all grown and married. Do we have to pay for a full Will or can we just have the part that needs up dated done? Can we do this ourselves and have it legal?
Thank you,

If you still want your sister to serve as executor, then you don't need to make any changes. If you want to change the executor and nothing else, then you only need to update that portion with a codicil.
I agree with Nancy but I would add since your documents are at least 20 years old I would advise you to talk to an attorney and make sure that they still adress your situation adequately.
You also need to think about life time planning with powers of attorney and asset coordination.
