A testator may revoke or cancel a Will in many ways.
A testator may revoke a Will by destroying it or by causing another to destroy it in his presence. A Will may also be revoked by a later Will or Codicil. Wills made in most states or jurisdictions stand revoked by marriage of the testator unless made in contemplation of marriage. Usually a Court ordered divorce or separation may lead to nullification of dispositions in favor of the wife of the testator, unless specifically provided otherwise in the Will.
The endorsement of the word ‘revoked’ on the Will is not sufficient to destroy it.
