derogatory clause

derogatory clause
A clause which a testator has secretly inserted in his will, the will containing a provision that any will thereafter made by him without the precise clause is to be void. The provision is anomalous to the same extent that an irrevocable will is anomalous. 57 Am J1st Wills § 15.
