Yes that is correct:
A marriage, or remarriage, will generally cancel any previous Will. This should be noted as it can mean that you are left without any Will and the Intestacy Rules will come into effect. It is possible, however, to add a clause into your Will to prevent it from being cancelled by your remarriage or marriage in certain circumstances.
