Revoking Your Will

If there's evident proof with documentation that you are mentally competent, you can revoke a previous Will by destroying it. This act of revocation nonetheless needs to be properly witnessed and recorded. Some other person can contend the Will to be lost and not revoked, or lacking mental comptency at the time you "attempted" revoking your Will. This can result to a "Will Contest" in further time. A change in your martial status also revokes parts of a Will in relation to a former spouse that you may have had in the past. Any divorce of a testator and his spouse or annulment of the marraige, that occured either of which was subsequent to the execution of the testator's will; as well having all other provisions in the will relating to the spouse, and the provisions only can be revoked unless by alternative have been provided in the will or decree.
