implied revocation of wills

Read a random definition: filla

A quick definition of implied revocation of wills:

Implied revocation of wills happens when someone makes a new will that contradicts their old one, but they don't say they're revoking the old one. This means the old will is cancelled out by the new one. For example, if someone says their first son gets their house, but then later says their second son gets the same house, the second will cancels out the first one. It depends on what the person meant when they wrote the new will whether the old one is completely cancelled or just the parts that don't match the new one.

A more thorough explanation:

The implied revocation of a will, also known as a revocation by inconsistency, happens when a person who has already made a will creates a new one that contradicts the first one. If the new will does not explicitly revoke the first one, the inconsistency between the two wills revokes the first one.

For example, if a person's first will gives their house to their oldest child, but their second will gives the same house to their youngest child, the first will is revoked, and the youngest child will inherit the house. The extent to which the first will is revoked depends on the testator's intentions when writing the second will.

Another example could be if a person's first will leaves their car to their friend, but their second will leaves the same car to their spouse. In this case, the first will is revoked, and the spouse will inherit the car.

Overall, the implied revocation of wills occurs when a new will is created that contradicts the first one, and the first will is not explicitly revoked. The inconsistency between the two wills revokes the first one, and the extent of revocation depends on the testator's intentions.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
