If my second will is destroyed, will it revive my first will?

No. If a person, referred to legally as a “testator,” makes a second will, that will overrides any older will unless it is am amendment to the second Will. If the second is destroyed it generally does not revive the first. However, there is an exception to this rule. If someone can prove that the person who made that will, the testator, meant to revive the first will by destroying the second one, then the first will is revived and in full effect.
