Re: Prenuptial agreement
I'm not sure what you mean by precedence, but if you mean can a lawfully executed prenuptial agreement be voided by a subsequently drafted or amended last will and testament, I would have to say no.
A prenuptial agreement is a contract, and you could not void a preexisting contract with a will.
