Definition of DEPENDENT RELATIVE REVOCATION
The doctrine which regards as mutually dependent the acts of one destroying a will and thereupon substituting another instrument for distribution of estate, when both acts are result of one plan, so that, if second act, through incompleteness or other defect, fails to accomplish its intended purpose, and it thereby becomes evident that testator was misled when he destroyed his will, act of destruction is regarded as bereft of intent of revocation and way for probate of destroyed will is opened. Flanders v. White, 142 Or. 375, 18 P.2d 823, 827; In re Nelson's Estate, 183 Minn. 295, 236 N.W. 459, 46L
