Text

A contract to make a will or
devise, or not to revoke a will or devise, or to die intestate, if executed after July 1,
1995, may be established only by (i) provisions of a will stating material provisions
of the contract, (ii) an express reference in a will to a contract and extrinsic
evidence proving the terms of the contract, or (iii) a writing signed by the decedent
evidencing the contract. The execution of a joint will or mutual wills does not create
a presumption of a contract not to revoke the will or wills.
