§ 3b:3-15.

a. Except as otherwise provided in N.J.S.3B:3-14 or as provided in subsections b., c. and d. of this section , a revoked will or codicil shall not be revived except by reexecution or by a duly

executed codicil expressing an intention to revive it. b. If a subsequent will that wholly revoked a previous will is thereafter revoked

by a revocatory act described in N.J.S.3B:3-13 , the previous will remains revoked unless it is revived. The previous will is revived if there is clear and convincing evidence from the

or subsequent declarations that the testator intended the previous will to take effect

as executed. c. If a subsequent will that partly revoked a previous will is thereafter revoked

by a revocatory act described in N.J.S.3B:3-13 , a revoked part of the previous will is revived unless there is clear and convincing

evidence from the circumstances of the revocation of the subsequent will or from the

testator's contemporary or subsequent declarations that the testator did not intend

the revoked part to take effect as executed. d. If a subsequent will that revoked a previous will in whole or in part is thereafter

revoked by another, later will, the previous will remains revoked in whole or in part,

unless it or its revoked part is revived. The previous will or its revoked part is revived to the extent it appears from the

terms of the later will that the testator intended the previous will to take effect.
