I May Make A New Will And This Revocation Is Not Intended To Revoke Any Will I May Make In The Form
Use a I May Make A New Will And This Revocation Is Not Intended To Revoke Any Will I May Make In The template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this will-related form does
This document records a person’s intention that revoking an existing will should not automatically revoke a later will they may make. It is a will-related testamentary document, not an ordinary business contract. In the United States, wills and codicils are excluded from ESIGN’s electronic-signature rules under 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and UETA does not eliminate state execution formalities. Prepare the text carefully, identify the governing state law, and complete the required signing, witness, and notarization steps before relying on it.
Who uses this will form
Individuals
Individuals preparing a draft can use signNow to enter personal details, review completeness, and circulate a controlled copy to an attorney before state-law execution.
Legal teams
Estate-planning attorneys and legal staff can organize client drafts, request revisions, and preserve preparation history without treating the platform record as the executed will.
Business types using this form
This form is most useful during controlled estate-planning preparation, where legal review and state-specific execution remain separate from document collaboration.
Solo estate-planning attorneys can prepare client-specific drafts, track requested edits, and keep execution instructions separate from the document’s preparation workflow. Small law firms can coordinate attorney review, client revisions, and witness instructions while limiting access to sensitive beneficiary and asset information. Enterprise legal departments can standardize draft intake and retention controls, but must route each final will through applicable state execution procedures.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls
Uploading an unredacted will can expose addresses, beneficiary details, financial information, and other sensitive personal data to unauthorized viewers. Electronic consent for document preparation does not establish testamentary consent or satisfy state-specific will-execution requirements. Sharing an editable draft with the wrong recipient can expose private estate instructions before attorney or witness review. Using access permissions designed for business contracts may leave sensitive estate documents available to unnecessary internal users.
Legal standing and preparation limits
ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, excludes wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts from its general electronic-signature rules. UETA also does not override state testamentary formalities. Use signNow to prepare and review this form, then follow the applicable state witness, signing, and notarization requirements for an effective will.

Questions about preparing this will form
These answers distinguish signNow preparation features from state-law requirements governing wills and testamentary documents.
Because wills are excluded from ESIGN under 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, signNow should not be used as the legal signing method. You may use signNow to prepare a draft, but execute the will using the witnesses and formalities required by applicable state law.
The form’s title expresses an intention about future wills, but it does not establish validity by itself. Confirm that the complete document satisfies your state’s witness, signing, testamentary-capacity, and notarization rules before relying on it in probate.
signNow can upload and organize a PDF, identify fillable fields, and preserve a document history. Those features support preparation and records management, but they do not convert a will into an electronically valid testamentary instrument.
Do not treat a signNow audit trail as a substitute for will-execution formalities. It can document preparation activity, timestamps, and access, while state law determines whether the executed will is admissible and effective.
Consumer-facing electronic records may require consent disclosures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), but those disclosures do not remove the wills exclusion. Obtain legal advice about whether electronic preparation is appropriate for your state and circumstances.
Keep the prepared file separate from the legally executed original, and restrict access to personal and beneficiary information. Export available history, preserve the final paper or legally valid original, and follow your attorney’s retention instructions.
