§560:2-514  Contracts concerning
succession.  A contract to make a will or devise, or not to revoke a will
or devise, or to die intestate, if executed after January 1, 1997, may be
established only by:



(1)  Provisions of a will stating material provisions
of the contract;



(2)  An express reference in a will to a contract and
extrinsic evidence proving the terms of the contract; or



(3)  A writing signed by the decedent evidencing the
contract.



The execution of a joint will or mutual wills
does not create a presumption of a contract not to revoke the will or wills. [L
1996, c 288, pt of §1]
