A secondary will, if properly drafted, over-rides a primary will for the assets in that particular jurisdiction. You have to submit a valid will with probate or provide evidence of the same.

Wouldn't it make sense that a one-size fits all Will would be better? BTW, do courts when they grant probate actually do any checking or investigation whether a Will has been registered in any other jurisdiction, or even in their own? I've often wondered what in heck the court actually does to its probate fee/tax. Do they just blindly rubber stamp what a lawyer submits as long as no one else objects?
