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

Detailed Legal Analysis

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

Under the Goa Rent Control Act 1993 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.
