Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

As long as you are mentally competent, you may change your will as many times as you like.

Do NOT just write something new on your current will and cross anything out - this would invalidate the will. You need a complete new will with witnesses and a notary public.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

If all you are changing is an executor, you can do a codicil, but don't do this on your own. Pennsylvania and the other states have specific laws about will requirements and you want to make sure this is valid. So please get a lawyer to draft this for you.

If its been awhile, the lawyer should review your existing will and determine whether you merely need a codicil or a whlole new will.
