In the codicil, reaffirm the Will, attach it to the codicil as an exhibit , and add a self proving affidavit to the whole. It becomes a part of the codicil by incorporation, and evidence of will contents are attached. Also, be aware that a codicil is actually a will in and of itself, but is lacking all the info so without the will attached, you may have questions of intestacy. This is also a good way to "re-sign" a list will, with minor changes...</p>
