How to change a Will
May 09, 2024How can you Change your Will?
One can easily change or revoke his/her previously written Will , during their lifetime. If you wish to nullify the intentions mentioned in your Will previously, you can revoke it.
Procedures of revoking or changing a Will & ndash
By Marriage According to the Indian Succession Act, 1956, every Will shall stand revoked by the marriage of the testator. Marriage creates new obligations and duties for the testator which might influence his/her decision with regard to the deposition of the properties after the death. However, automatic revocation of a Will is not applicable for Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. By Another Will A new Will created will cause revocation of all former Will. To avoid disputes or discrepancies, a Will made after an existing Will should have a clause revoking former Wills. By implied action If a new Will contains no words for revocation, but the Will cannot stand with the former Will, then it can be inferred that the testator had revoked the former Will. It is not necessary for the testator to state his reasons for revoking the former Will. Burning or Tearing A Will can be burned or torn by the testator or by someone else in his/her presence. However, cancellation of a Will by drawing lines across it is not one of the modes of revocation.
