A revocation by operation of law consequent to certain important changes in the family or domestic relations of the testator, such as marriage or the birth of a child after the making of the will, or changes involving the property of the testator or the beneficiaries of the will. 57 Am J1st Wills §§ 521 et seq. The revocation of a will by a later will or codicil which is inconsistent with the prior will, 57 Am J1st Wills § 474; a question of the intention of the testator as such appears from the general tenor and structure of the later will and the nature and character of the provisions contained therein.
