Revocation by Subsequent Will

Revocation by subsequent will occurs when a person creates a new will that expressly revokes or replaces a previous will. This means the new will overrides the old one, either by stating it is revoking the previous document or by including provisions that conflict with or nullify the earlier will. Essentially, the latest valid will takes precedence, ensuring the person's current wishes are honored. If the new will is valid and properly executed, it cancels out the previous will, modifying or entirely changing how one's estate will be distributed.
