Article 830. No will shall be revoked except in

the following cases:

(1) By implication of law; or

(2) By some will, codicil, or other writing

executed as provided in case of wills; or

(3) By burning, tearing, cancelling, or

obliterating the will with the intention of

revoking it, by the testator himself, or by

some other person in his presence, and by

his express direction. If burned, torn,

cancelled, or obliterated by some other

person, without the express direction of the

testator, the will may still be established, and

the estate distributed in accordance

therewith, if its contents, and due execution,

and the fact of its unauthorized destruction,

cancellation, or obliteration are established

according to the Rules of Court. (n)
