Guam § 413 - Methods of Formal Revocation of Written Will.

§ 413. Methods of Formal Revocation of Written Will.

(a) Except as hereinabove provided in this Chapter, no written will,

nor any part thereof, can be revoked or altered otherwise than as set forth

in subsections (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Section:

(1) By a subsequent written will or other writing of the testator,

executed with the same formalities required for the execution of a

will, declaring such revocation or alteration, or containing

provisions wholly inconsistent with the terms of the prior will. If, in

the latter case, the subsequent will or other writing contains

provisions not wholly inconsistent with the terms of the prior will,

the prior will remains effectual so far as consistent with the

provisions of the subsequent will; but the mere naming of an

executor in the prior will need not be given effect by the Superior

Court of Guam when the subsequent will is otherwise wholly

inconsistent with the terms of the prior will, the intention of the

testator in this respect being left to the determination of the Superior

Court of Guam.

(2) By being burned, torn, canceled, defaced, obliterated or

destroyed, with the intent and for the purpose of revoking the same,

by the testator himself, or by some person in the testator's presence

and by the testator's direction. If the act is done by any person other

than the testator, the direction of the testator and the fact of such

injury or destruction must be proved by two (2) witnesses.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section,

a holographic will may be altered pursuant to the provisions of

subsection (c) of Section 207 of this Title.
