Guidelines for Drafting a Revocation of Will and Codicils:
Clear Intent: Start by expressing a clear and unequivocal intent to revoke all previous wills and codicils.
Details: Provide your full name, address, and the date of the revocation document to confirm your identity.
Reference Prior Documents: Mention the date and details of the previous wills and codicils you wish to revoke.
Explicit Revocation: State clearly that you are revoking all provisions, gifts, and appointments made in the earlier wills and codicils.
Alternative Arrangements: If applicable, specify any new will or codicil that supersedes the revoked documents.
Witnesses: Sign the revocation document in the presence of witnesses, adhering to local laws regarding the number and qualifications of witnesses. Witnesses should also sign the document.
Notary Public: Consider having the revocation document notarized for added legal weight.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Ambiguity: Ensure your intent to revoke previous documents is crystal clear to prevent disputes.
Incomplete Revocation: Explicitly state that you are revoking all prior wills and codicils to leave no room for confusion.
Lack of Legal Formalities: Failure to follow legal requirements regarding witnesses and notarization can render the revocation invalid.
Not Updating Beneficiary Designations: If you've revoked a will or codicil because of changed circumstances, ensure your new estate plan reflects these changes.
Revocations are used when individuals want to cancel or amend their wills or codicils. Seek legal advice to ensure compliance with local laws and to minimize the risk of disputes.
