Detailed Legal Analysis
Yes, you can revoke your will in Saharanpur at any time during your lifetime as long as you are of sound mind. The Allahabad High Court has held that revocation must be intentional and can be effected by destruction, burning, or execution of a later will.
Under the Uttar Pradesh Rent Control Act 1972 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.
