Text

No will in writing, nor any part thereof, except
as in this article provided, shall be revoked, unless the testator, or some
other person in his presence and by his direction, with intent to revoke,
shall destroy or mutilate the same; or such testator shall execute other
writing for that purpose, signed, subscribed and attested as required in
section 3 or 3.1 of this chapter. A will can be revoked in part only by
the execution of a writing as herein provided. And if, after the making
of any will, the testator shall execute a second, a revocation of the
second shall not revive the first will, unless it shall appear by the terms
of such revocation to have been his intent to revive it, or, unless, after
such revocation, he shall duly republish the previous will.
Formerly: Acts 1953, c.112, s.
