Can I revoke my will in Guntur and how do I do it?

RA Asked by Ramesh Bhat from India

Quick Answer

Yes, you can revoke your will in Guntur at any time during your lifetime as long as you are of sound mind.

Detailed Legal Analysis

Yes, you can revoke your will in Guntur at any time during your lifetime as long as you are of sound mind. The Andhra Pradesh High Court has held that revocation must be intentional and can be effected by destruction, burning, or execution of a later will.

Under the Andhra Pradesh Rent Control Act 1960 and the Indian Succession Act, a codicil can also partially revoke or alter a will. A subsequent will should expressly state that all prior wills are revoked.

Marriage of a testator under certain personal laws may automatically revoke a prior will. The revoked will cannot be revived merely by physical destruction of the revoking instrument.
