767. The destruction, tearing or erasure of a holograph will or of a will made in the presence of witnesses entails revocation if it is established that this was done deliberately by the testator or on his instructions. Similarly, the erasure of any provision of a will entails revocation of the legacy made by that provision.
Revocation is entailed also where the testator was aware of the destruction or loss of the will and could have replaced it.
