New Jersey § 3b:3-13

§ 3b:3-13.

A will or any part thereof is revoked: a. By the execution of a subsequent will that revokes the previous will or part expressly

or by inconsistency; or b. By the performance of a revocatory act on the will, if the testator performed the

act with the intent and for the purpose of revoking the will or part or if another

individual performed the act in the testator's conscious presence and by the testator's

direction. For purposes of this subsection, “ revocatory act on the will ” includes burning, tearing canceling, obliterating or destroying the will or any

part of it. A burning, tearing or cancelling is a “revocatory act on the will,” whether or not

the burn, tear, or cancellation touched any of the words on the will. (1) If a subsequent will does not expressly revoke a previous will, the execution

of the subsequent will wholly revokes the previous will by inconsistency if the testator

intended the subsequent will to replace rather than supplement the previous will. (2) The testator is presumed to have intended a subsequent will to replace rather

than supplement a previous will if the subsequent will makes a complete disposition

of the testator's estate. If this presumption arises and is not rebutted by clear and convincing evidence,

the previous will is revoked; only the subsequent will is operative on the testator's

death. (3) The testator is presumed to have intended a subsequent will to supplement rather

than replace a previous will if the subsequent will does not make a complete disposition

of the testator's estate. If this presumption arises and is not rebutted by clear and convincing evidence,

the subsequent will revokes the previous will only to the extent the subsequent will

is inconsistent with the previous will; each will is fully operative on the testator's

death to the extent they are not inconsistent.
