Can I write void on my will?

Physically destroying all copies of the old will is generally sufficient to nullify it. Destruction can occur multiple ways, such as by tearing copies of the will to bits, shredding it, or writing the term “VOID” in big letters on its pages. To ensure that the will is nullified, it should be destroyed completely.

When can a will be voided?

If you challenge a will and are successful, it can be voided in its entirety or just in part. Sometimes, a prior provision, such as from a previous will can be reinstated. If the entire will is voided, the court will distribute the property as if no will had ever existed.
