ABSTRACT
Revocation by marriage General rule Under s 18(1) WA, marriage operates to revoke any prior will made by either spouse. This is so not only where the marriage is valid but also where it is voidable under s 12 MCA (1973) (as can be seen from Re Roberts (1978)); but not if it was void ab initio (as was the case in Mette v Mette (1859) and De Reneville v De Reneville (1948)).
