Where this section sits in the code
  1. TITLE 18-C: PROBATE CODE
  2. PART 4: FORMAL TESTACY AND APPOINTMENT PROCEEDINGS

If 2 or more instruments are offered for probate before a final order is entered in a formal testacy proceeding, more than one instrument may be probated if neither expressly revokes the other or contains provisions that work a total revocation by implication. If more than one instrument is probated, the order must indicate what provisions control in respect to the nomination of an executor, if any. The order may, but need not, indicate how any provisions of a particular instrument are affected by the other instrument. After a final order in a testacy proceeding has been entered, no petition for probate of any other instrument of the decedent may be entertained, except incident to a petition to vacate or modify a previous probate order and subject to the time limits of section 3‑412.
