Can you tell me the procedure for revoking only a part of my will in Florida?
Full Question:
I retired from my job last year and came to live in Florida with my youngest daughter. As I am unable to take care of my properties and accounts, my daughter manages it. Once day she persuaded me to make a will and put everything in her name, which I did. After that, her attitude has changed drastically. I think I did a mistake by making her the successor of major portion of my property and money. Can you tell me the procedure for revoking only that part of my will that concerns my daughter?

Answer:
Fla. Stat. § 732.505 reads:
“A will or codicil, or any part of either, is revoked:
(1) By a subsequent inconsistent will or codicil, even though the subsequent inconsistent will or codicil does not expressly revoke all previous wills or codicils, but the revocation extends only so far as the inconsistency.
(2) By a subsequent will, codicil, or other writing executed with the same formalities required for the execution of wills declaring the revocation.”
Thus, you may revoke a part of your will per the procedure enumerated in Fla. Stat. § 732.505.
