Sample Codicil

When it’s time to update your will, you don’t have to start from scratch.

You can use a codicil, an addition or supplement that explains or modifies your existing will, to create your endowed scholarship at The University of Texas at Austin. Please contact our development team before modifying your will to ensure we can carry out your wishes in the way you intend.
