How to Revoke a Maryland Will

Before deciding to revoke a Will you should discuss the pros and cons with an experienced estate planning attorney. There are many good reasons to revoke a Will but this should almost always include replacing the Will with a new updated Will.

Creating a new Will is an excellent way to revoke a prior Will. There should be a revocation of prior Wills clause within the new Will. Simply revoking a Will without creating a new Will raises the issue of whether any previously created Wills are now revived. To get a definitive answer to this question, and peace of mind, you should have an estate planning attorney review the Will being revoked and the prior Will.
