Vermont § 11 - How revoked

§ 11. How revoked

• (a)(1) A will is revoked: (A) by executing a subsequent will that revokes the previous will expressly or by inconsistency;
  or (B) by performing 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. (2) As used in 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 canceling is a revocatory act on the will, whether or not the burn, tear, or cancellation
  touched any of the words on the will.
