Why you need it

When you need it

Revoke an earlier will without yet replacing it, or create a clear written revocation record for a new estate plan. Section 62, Indian Succession Act 1925 lets a competent maker revoke a will; section 70 governs revoking an unprivileged will/codicil (another will/codicil, a revocation-intent writing executed like a will, or destruction with intent). This uses the express-writing method rather than uncertain destruction. Identify the exact earlier will/codicils and say whether revocation is complete or limited. Keep it with the same estate-record chain if the earlier will was registered — registering the revocation itself isn't compulsory. Revoking without a replacement can cause intestacy — make that intentional.
