for revocation of probate of the will within the time provided in

any provision of the will affects provisions of another will.

for probate or a petition for letters of administration for a general
personal representative, the proponent of the will may petition for
probate of the will only within the later of either of the following

(1) One hundred twenty days after issuance of the order admitting
the first will to probate or determining the decedent to be
intestate.
(2) Sixty days after the proponent of the will first obtains
knowledge of the will.
