Anyone who makes a will can cancel or "revoke" it at any time. A will is revoked or canceled if:

• A new will is created; or
  
• A person destroys his or her current will with the intention of revoking or canceling it.

A person can destroy a will by burning it, tearing it up or obliterating it.

A will that is accidentally destroyed is not revoked. The destruction of the will must be intentional to revoke it.

DIVORCE or ANNULMENT

• If a person is divorced, or gets an annulment, the part of that person’s will that refers to a former husband or wife is automatically revoked unless the will specifically states otherwise.
  
• However, if a divorced couple marries each other again, those parts of their wills voided by virtue of the divorce will automatically be reinstated by law.
