New York Laws
Part 4 - Revocation of Wills and Related Subjects
3-4.3 - Revocatory Effect of a Conveyance, Settlement or Other Act Affecting Property Previously Disposed of by Will


affecting property previously disposed of by will

A conveyance, settlement or other act of a testator by which an estate
in his property, previously disposed of by will, is altered but not
wholly divested does not revoke such disposition, but the estate in the
property that remains in the testator passes to the beneficiaries
pursuant to the disposition. However, any such conveyance, settlement
or other act of the testator which is wholly inconsistent with such
previous testamentary disposition revokes it.
