3B:1-4.  Contractual arrangements relating to death
    A contract to make a will or devise, or not to revoke a will or devise, or to die intestate, if executed after September 1, 1978, can 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.
