This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
codicil
Pronounced: (COD-ih-sill)
Noun:
a supplement to a will; a testamentary instrument intended to alter an already executed will
From Vocabulary.com: “A codicil is a supplement to a will. If your will is already written and you want to alter it, you add a codicil.”
Example:
“Changes to a real estate portfolio may require a codicil or two in order to ensure your wealth is distributed correctly when you pass on.”
