If a specific provision is to be changed, a codicil can be used. For a \u003cstrong\u003ecodicil, the same formal requirements apply as when the will was drawn up\u003c\/strong\u003e according to Chapter 10, Section 6 of the Swedish Inheritance Code. The templates therefore clearly distinguish between a new, witnessed provision and a simple documentation of revocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you revoke a will?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Chapter 10, Section 5 of the Swedish Inheritance Code, a testator can revoke a provision by an act in the form of a will, by destroying the will themselves, or by otherwise unambiguously indicating that the provision no longer expresses the testator's ultimate intention. A revocation does not automatically appoint new beneficiaries. If something new is to be provided, a new correctly drawn-up testamentary document should be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollect older wills, codicils, and information about the storage of the originals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExamine whether there is a joint or mutual will, forced heirship issues, or conflicting provisions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the right document and adapt the wording.

A revocation can be informal if the testator unambiguously shows that the will no longer represents their ultimate intention. The question of evidence can, however, be difficult. For a new will or codicil, the usual formal requirements apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many witnesses are needed for a codicil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a general rule, two eligible witnesses must be present at the same time when the testator signs or acknowledges their signature. The witnesses must know that the document is a will or codicil, but do not need to know the contents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I revoke only part of the will?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis may be possible, but it is important to unambiguously identify which provision is intended and check what will continue to apply. A new formally correct codicil may be clearer if the distribution of inheritance is to be changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat applies in the case of a joint or mutual will?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnilateral changes can have special consequences according to Chapter 10, Section 7 of the Swedish Inheritance Code. It is particularly important to review the conditions of previous mutual provisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a will need to be registered with the Swedish Tax Agency?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, there is no general requirement to register a will with the Swedish Tax Agency for it to be drawn up. However, storage and evidence of the original are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the forced heirship rights of children affected?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe forced heirship rights of children follow from Chapter 7 of the Swedish Inheritance Code. Check how each new provision relates to the forced heirship and applicable time limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Excel as a will register?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcel compiles the information that you enter yourself, but it is not a public register and cannot witness, sign, or legally validate the documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the PDF files fillable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PDF files are searchable and print-friendly.
