Revocation of Will by Act

Read a random definition: incapacity

A quick definition of Revocation of Will by Act:

A revocation of a will by act means that a person can cancel their will by doing something on purpose to show they don't want it anymore. This could be tearing it up, burning it, or getting rid of it in some other way. The person has to really mean to cancel the will and do something to show it.

A more thorough explanation:

Revocation of Will by Act is a legal term that means a person can cancel their will by doing something that shows they no longer want it to be valid. To revoke a will, the person must have the intention to cancel it and take action to do so. This can be done by burning, tearing, cancelling, obliterating, or destroying the will.

For example, if someone tears up their will and throws it away, they are revoking it by act. Another example is if someone burns their will, they are also revoking it by act. These actions show that the person no longer wants their will to be valid.

It's important to note that simply talking about revoking a will is not enough. The person must take physical action to cancel it.

it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
