hat under which it was made; or
by some other writing declaring an intention to revoke the same, and
executed in the manner in which an original will is required to be
executed; or by the burning, tearing, or otherwise destroying the same
by the testator, or by some person in his presence and by his
direction with the intention of revoking the same.

1590. Loses Effect.

No Will or Codicil, or any part of either, that has once been revoked
by any or all of these acts, can be revived again, unless it be
executed in the manner that a fresh will or codicil is required to be.

1591. Alterations.

Alterations in Wills or Codicils require the signature of the testator
and of two witnesses to be made upon the margin, or upon some other
part of the will, opposite or neat to the alteration.

1592. Revoked by Marriage.

Every Will is revoked by the subsequent marriage of the testator or
testatrix, except a will made in the exercise of a power of
appointment, when the property appointed thereby would not, in default
of appointment, pass to the heir, executor, or administrator, or next
of kin of the testator or testatrix.

1593. Basic Requirements.

There being no Stamp Duty, or tax, on a will itself, it should be
written on plain parchment or paper. Nor is it necessary, though
always advisable where means are sufficient, to employ a professional
adviser to draw up and complete the execution of a will.

1594. Identifying a Illegitimate Child.

If it be intended to give a legacy to an illegitimate child, the
testator must not class him with the lawful children, or designate him
simply as the child of his reputed parent, whether father or mother,
but must describe the child by name as the reputed child of----or
----, so as to leave no doubt of identity.

1595. Paraphernalia.

Wearing apparel, jewels, &c., belonging to a wife are considered in
law her "paraphernalia;" and though liable for the husband's debts
while living, cannot be willed away from her by her husband, unless he
wills to her other things in lieu thereof, expressing such intention
and desire in the will.

The wife may then make her choice whether she will accept the
substituted gift, or remain possessed of what the law declares her
entitled to.
