Title 53, Chapter 4, Section 42
( 53-4-42)
(a) A revocation may be express or implied. (b) An express revocation occurs when the testator by writing or
action expressly annuls a will. An express revocation takes effect
instantly. (c) An implied revocation results from the execution of a subsequent
inconsistent will that does not by its terms expressly revoke the
previous will. An implied revocation takes effect only when the
subsequent inconsistent will becomes effective. If the subsequent
inconsistent will fails to become effective from any cause, the
implied revocation is not completed. |
