he had made a few changes in
it and wanted to know whether
his attorney thought the changes
were all right.
Mr. S. was attempting to
change two items of his will
by drawing lines through cer-
tain words in these items and
interlining, in his own handwrit-
ing, the changes he wanted. He
was not attempting to revoke his
entire will but merely trying to
change these two items.
If Mr. S. were to die with his
will in that condition, the pro-
bate court would not recognize
the changes that he had made,
but would probably probate the
will as it was originally written.
Mr S. was surprised to learn
this and immediately requested
that a new will be prepared.
After the will has been once
executed, changes cannot be
made legally by crossing out
parts of a will and interlining
corrections or additions. To
change a will, an entirely new
will must be written and proper-
ly executed or an addition by
way of a codicil should be ex-
ecuted.
But suppose you want to re-
voke your will entirely. Here
again, the surest and most ef-
fective method is to execute a
new will or codicil.
Since a will does not take ef-
fect until the death of the per-
son making it, the provisions of
the will should be reviewed by
the maker at least once a year
to be sure that changing condi-
tions and circumstances have
not been such as to require .a
modification of the will. It is
