The concept of a codicil to a will dates back to ancient Roman law, where it was called a "codicillus." Roman law allowed testators to modify their wills by adding a codicillus without having to create an entirely new will. The English legal system later adopted this practice in the 16th century, using the term "codicil."

However, codicils are not always the right solution if you have major changes to make to a will. In some situations, writing an entirely new will could be the better solution.

A codicil is a legal document that allows for minor changes to an existing will. Online will kits can be a more affordable and convenient option for updating a will.

As a company that specializes in providing affordable legal documents, we understand the importance of maintaining credibility and trust with our clients. That's why we're thrilled to stumble upon our Better Business Bureau (BBB) certificate from 2001 while sorting our old files.

For those who may not be familiar, the BBB is a nonprofit organization that promotes ethical business practices and provides customers with information about businesses. Obtaining a BBB certificate is a rigorous process that demonstrates a company's commitment to fair business practices and customer satisfaction.

As we dusted off our certificate, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the hard work and dedication that went into earning it. We've always known that we provide top-notch service but it was satisfying to see that recognition in ink and paper.

But more than just a pat on the back, our BBB certificate serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining the high standards that earned it in the first place. We will always provide our clients the best possible experience, and our BBB certificate serves as a symbol of that commitment.

We encourage our fellow Canadian businesses to consider getting their BBB accreditation if they have not done so already. Not only will it showcase your business reputation but also help you to build trust with your potential customers.

Thank you Better Business Bureau serving Mainland BC for the walk down memory lane and your two decades of excellence.

Banks may not let your spouse access your savings if you are in a coma!

A signed Financial Power of Attorney gives someone the right to make financial decisions on your behalf.

If you are in a coma, you can't make financial decisions, so your spouse has to go to court to access the money.
