As a general rule, the most recently signed and properly executed Will is the one that will be legally recognized.
When you create a new Will with NetLaw, it automatically revokes any prior Wills or codicils (amendments) you may have signed in the past.
How This Works in NetLaw
Every Will created through NetLaw includes a revocation clause that states:
“I hereby revoke all prior Wills and codicils that I may have previously made.”
This ensures that your most current wishes are honored and that no confusion arises from multiple versions of your Will.
Important Reminders
Once you sign and properly execute your new NetLaw Will, it becomes your legally valid Will
You should destroy or clearly mark any older Wills as revoked to avoid potential confusion
If you’ve made copies of a previous Will, let your Executor know that those copies are no longer valid
