A will, or any part of it, may not be revoked in a manner other
than as provided in this section.
    (1)   By provision in a subsequent, validly executed will which (i) revokes
any prior will or part of it either expressly or by necessary
implication, or (ii) expressly republishes an earlier will that had
been revoked by an intermediate will but is still in existence;
    (2)   By burning, cancelling, tearing, or obliterating the same, by the
testator himself, or by some other person in his presence and by his
express direction and consent;
    (3)   By the subsequent marriage of the testator followed by the birth,
adoption, or legitimation of a child by him, provided such child or his
descendant survives the testator; and all wills executed prior to such
marriage shall be revoked; or
    (4)   By an absolute divorce of a testator and his spouse or the annulment of
the marriage, either of which occurs subsequent to the execution of the
testator's will; and all provisions in the will relating to the
spouse, and only those provisions, shall be revoked unless otherwise
provided in the will or decree.
