Abstract

This paper defends the thesis that the will can be revoked by a public deed stating the explicit and unequivocal will of the deceased to render it void. The traditional thesis that only admits revocation by another will is discussed. It is maintained that there is no prohibition in the chilean Civil Code against it being carried out in any other way, nor is it stated that it can only be carried out by another will. When verifying the existence of a regulatory gap, the legal system must be completed or integrated with the principles that inspire inheritance law and our thesis is also corroborated by article 1135 of the chilean Civil Code regarding the alienation of the legacy.
