An implied revocation extends only so far as an inconsistency exists between testamentary instruments. Any portion of a prior instrument that can stand consistently with the testamentary scheme in a subsequent instrument shall remain unrevoked.
(Code 1981, §53-4-47, enacted by Ga. L. 1996, p. 504, § 10.)
