There is nothing called irrevocable will in the eye of law and the testator during his lifetime can execute as many number of wills as he likes. But the law is that only the last one if validly executed will be treated as the final testament.

the mention of the words irrevocable in the will itself makes the very will invalid. because law does not recognise such a concept at all. the testator is fully at liberty to write as many wills as he desires. and the last of such wills alone will be enforceable in law.

The testator during his lifetime can revoke his will at anytime and execute new will as he likes.

Yes. The Testator can change his Will& create a fresh Will. However, the 2nd. Will should state the revocation of the earlier Will.

The WILL is arrangement of property which comes into operation after the death of testator. The testator can change his WILL before his death and the WILL created exactly before the death shall prevail.

will can not be irrevocable. and remember last will have over riding effect upon all previous will. He can make a new will and get it registered too.

He can make a new will and get it registered, so that it will prevail over unregistered will. make mention in it that all the wills made earlier are hereby cancelled.
