To my mind, a codicil ins't something to use for making multiple changes, it is by definition a supplement to a will.

As far as challenging a codicil or will, if it is worded to the extent that there are very little or nothing to dispute, then that should suffice. I image disputing wills is more prevalent among large families.

And of course there are some that will challenge anything if they think there is a buck to be made. Unfortunately, there are some people who actually make a living doing that sort of thing, not just wills.

You mention attorneys eating up the estates value...thats another ball game.
