A Will can be revoked in the following ways: a)     Automatically, where the testator subsequently enters into a marriage or civil partnership, unless the Will was made in contemplation of the said marriage/civil partnership or the parties entering into the marriage were already in a civil partnership b)     By making a subsequent Will or Codicil which expressly confirms the revocation – this includes any Wills made in any other jurisdictions c)     By some writing declaring an intention to revoke it and executed in the manner in which a Will is required to be executed d)     By the burning/tearing/destruction of the Will either by the testator or by someone in their presence and by the testator’s direction, and where the testator has the intention of revoking the Will – destruction of the Will by mistake will not effectively revoke it A Will IS NOT revoked upon divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. We would always advise clients to speak to their Solicitor without delay regarding any necessary changes to their Will arising from major changes in their circumstances, especially where they enter into a marriage. If you want to discuss your Will or put a new one in place, contact our team and we will be happy to assist you. 📞 021 427 8131 📧 info@fodlaw.ie #wills #willrevocation #estateplanning https://lnkd.in/e7NdjHmD
