Yes, your Will can be revoked under certain circumstances, namely:

  1. Marriage: By virtue of Section 12 of the Wills Act 1959 (Act 246), when you make a Will and then marry or remarry, your Will is revoked by the marriage and becomes inoperative due to the presumption that your priorities would have changed upon your marriage.  It is advisable that you amend or make a new Will prior to or after your marriage. Failure to do so, you will be deemed to have died intestate (without a Will) and your assets will be distributed according to Section 6 of the Distribution Act 1958. However, divorce and separation will not revoke your Will.
  2. Destruction: A Will is revoked when the testator physically destroys it with the intention of revoking it. Third-party destruction, whether accidental or intentional, does not constitute a revocation.
  3. A later Will: A subsequent or the latest Will would automatically revoke a prior one. This is because most Wills would have a revocation clause to revoke the prior will you made. A will can also be revoked by the testator signing a written statement of purpose in the presence of two (2) witnesses.
  4. Conversion to Islam: A Will is revoked when a non-Muslim person converts to Islam because the distribution of his/her estate will automatically follow the Syariah Law and Faraid distribution.
