A new will normally cancels any previous will. Even so, it is common practice to clearly provide for this by including a '''revocation clause''' at the beginning of a will: | A new will normally cancels any previous will.

Neither marriage nor divorce of the will-maker cancels a will. The exception is if you married before March 31, 2014, and made a will prior to your marriage. Your will would have been automatically cancelled on your marriage, unless the will said that it was made in contemplation of your marriage. | Neither marriage nor divorce of the will-maker cancels a will.
