How many witnesses are needed for a codicil to a legal will in Ontario?

Answer:
You need two witnesses for a will or codicil to a will.
However, if the will or codicil is entirely handwritten (holographic will/codicil), no witnesses are needed. Holographic wills are valid in Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
