Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Will
I made out my will giving my daughter my land, at my death, at that time I had 63 acres, but have now sold some. I have 32 acres, do I have to make a new will or can I just correct that. That is the only thing that will change.

Re: Will
Without reading your whole will, there is no way to answer your question. Your present will may be adequate or you may need a new one.
You cannot "correct" a will. Any change on it revokes it.
While you can amend a will with a separate codicil, that is usually a horrible idea. A codicil means probating two documents rather than one, and is not cheaper to make than a new will.
A new will can cost as little as $150. Call my office if we can assist you.
Re: Will
It sounds like you have a sizeable estate, which makes it more likely that your will could be subjected to challenges during probate. Involving a lawyer in revision of your will is an investment in your peace of mind. Please call me in the event that I might assist you.
