Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
revocation clause
In my late husband's will there is a clause revoking all other wills. I know that he made a will while he lived in spain some years ago - does the revocation clause make the spanish will invalid?

Re: revocation clause
A clause in a valid Will which revokes all prior Wills is effective and does what it says; the prior Wills are disregarded.
In your case, the later Will revokes the Will signed in Spain.
