How do you cancel a Will?

A Will is “revoked’ (that means, is made redundant, or no longer applicable) in the following circumstances:

• When a new, later Will is made
• When you marry or re-marry
• If your Will is physically destroyed

If you divorce, then any gift you made to your former spouse in your Will is revoked. That means your Will is still valid, but partially cancelled so far as the gift to your ex spouse is concerned.

In all these cases you should seriously consider arranging for a new Will to be made.
