Codicil appointing substitute executor on death of executor

If you want to make a relatively simple and straightforward change to your Will, you can use a codicil to do so without having to create a new Will.

Use this codicil if you need to appoint a substitute executor to take the place of an executor in your Will who has died. In all other respects, your Will remains the same.

Please note that you cannot use this codicil if you already have 5 or more codicils to your existing Will, as at this point we recommend that you make a new Will.
