Next » « Previous8/11
If you want to change your designated Personal Representative, you'll need to amend (change) your Will.
Be sure to have the amendment executed with the same formality as the Will was executed. To learn more, see Writing Your Will and How To Make Your Will Challenge Proof.
Make it clear in the amendment whether it overrides everything in the original Will or only a particular part of it -- and if so, which part. For more information on writing a will, see Writing Your Will.
