§ 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
circumstances of the revocation of the subsequent will or from the testator's contemporary
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.
