Revival of Wills Flashcards
How do you revive old will?
With another valid will or codicil. Cannot do it orally.
What happens if you revoke will at different times?
Only thing revived is last thing revoked
Can get around last thing revoked with contrary intention
Says revive will plus any other intentions made. IF nothing on codicil to specify that the only thing presumed is the most recent aspect
Re Ought
Destruction of a will does not revive an old will
Republishing
simply re-executing the will either to correct a mistake (alteration) or simply might need to update will to execute some realities
Why republish?
Change of circumstances/ life changes. Can validate previously illegal alterations.
When is date to take effect?
Date of revival/ republication
