Revocation of Wills

Revocation of wills refers to the legal process by which a person cancels or invalidates their existing will. This can happen in several ways, such as creating a new will that explicitly states the earlier one is revoked, physically destroying the old will, or if the person gets married or divorced, which can automatically alter their estate plans. Revocation ensures that only the most current intentions regarding the distribution of one's assets after death are followed, reflecting any changes in personal circumstances or wishes. It’s essential to handle wills carefully to avoid confusion and conflicts among heirs.
