Codicil: A supplement to a will such as a document or rider that modifies or supersedes an existing provision of the will or creates a new provision.
Conservator: Someone appointed to manage the affairs of someone who is incompetent or unable to make decisions for themself.

Intestate: Someone who dies without a legal will in places dies intestate. In this case, distribution of the estate’s assets is the responsibility of the probate court and completed according to state law.
Joint Tenancy With Rights of Survivorship: A type of joint property ownership that grants co-owners the right to a share of the home upon the death of a joint tenant.
