Revocation; revival
Sec. 6. No will in writing, nor any part thereof, except as in this
article provided, shall be revoked, unless the testator, or some other
person in his presence and by his direction, with intent to revoke,
shall destroy or mutilate the same; or such testator shall execute
other writing for that purpose, signed, subscribed and attested as
required in section 3 or 3.1 of this chapter. A will can be revoked in
part only by the execution of a writing as herein provided. And if,
after the making of any will, the testator shall execute a second, a
revocation of the second shall not revive the first will, unless it shall
appear by the terms of such revocation to have been his intent to
revive it, or, unless, after such revocation, he shall duly republish the
previous will.
