best thing to do is go threw a lawyer and draw up a new will and have it state that this will dated on said day,year,time,etc.. supersedes and voids ( forget the legal mumbo jumbo word ) any past wills and dated prior to this new will and make what ever changes you want done. reason why i say a lawyer is laws very from state to state and someone could tie it up in probate court if the old will was found and it had say an ex-wife in it and if you remarried it would be a sticky ordeal.

The Will is followed; unless one files a codocil, which is a change in the Will, the latest Will is upheld. There is also a question of testamentary capacity. In some states, if subsequent videotaped and witnessed changes are made, they may be considered legal by the courts.

Unless it's in writing, or the deceased told more than one person (like a group of people all at one time), your probably out of luck...

The die "intestate", without a will and the estate will be probated by the courts of the state with jurisdiction.

It's time to get a new will. Get things in writing.
