To cancel a will without writing another will, you have a few options:
- Revocation by physical act: You can cancel a will by physically destroying it. This can be done by tearing, burning, shredding, or otherwise obliterating the original will with the intention of revoking it. It’s important to note that you should only proceed with this method if you are certain that you no longer want the will to be in effect.
- Revocation by written declaration: A a written declaration of revocation. This can be done by writing a formal statement expressing your intention to revoke the previous will and signing and dating the declaration in the presence of witnesses as required by the applicable laws.
- Some of these acts can be done by someone you direct but is not recommended.
