You should contact an Elder lawyer.
Re: Pre-existing Will
If you want to revoke your will, then write the words "WILL REVOKED" on the pages, then sign and date all the places where you marked it. This will effectively make your old will null and void, at which point you won't have a will, and all your estate will be subject to the probate laws of intestate succession. http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title29/ar1/ch2.html.
You should probably spend the few hundred dollars it takes to confer with an experienced lawyer to prepare a new will. Good luck.
