Legal practitioner's examination March 2002

1.1.1 The defacing of a copy of a will by the testator is sufficient to revoke the original. Although this will was
revoked by the testator, in terms of the doctrine of Dependant Relative Revocation the earlier will will be
accepted as the testator’s intention to revoke would be subject to the later will being valid.. The
unwitnessed will must also be lodged with the master. He must refuse to accept the unwitnessed will.
