A will shall be deemed null and void if: 1. the testator rescinds his will verbally or by action. 2. the testator outlives the specified legatee or if they die at the same time, or if it cannot be determined who predeceased the other, unless the will stipulates the payment of the legatee’s debt; 3. the legatee rejects the bequest following the death of the testator and prior to accepting it; 4. the legatee kills the testator, and such killing precludes inheritance; or 5. the specified legacy is damaged or if it is owned by a person other than the testator.
