§560:2-514 - Contracts concerning succession.
§560:2-514 Contracts concerning succession. A contract to make a will or devise, or not to revoke a will or devise, or to die intestate, if executed after January 1, 1997, may be established only by:
(1) Provisions of a will stating material provisions of the contract;
(2) An express reference in a will to a contract and extrinsic evidence proving the terms of the contract; or

The execution of a joint will or mutual wills does not create a presumption of a contract not to revoke the will or wills. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
