My passport number is the unique identifier used in my Cyprus Will. This number, however, is no longer current as I have renewed my passport since the Will was drawn up.

Has anyone else experience of this, and would it be adequate to retain the expired passport which matches the Will, or do I need to renew my Will?

Thanks in advance

A codicil is a document that amends an existing will, but does not replace it. It allows you to change your will without making an entirely new will, and must be signed in the exact same way as the will was signed (although the two witnesses do not have to be the same two people that witnessed the original will).

Keeping the expired passport would be a good way, but a codicil is simple and does not require a lawyer, just signatures and witnesses.

Hi Devil, thanks for the response. We heard back from our lawyer this morning by email saying that keeping the old passport with the Will will be fine, and no codicil is necessary. Needless to say we will keep a copy of her email with the Wills.
