ATTORNEY ANSWER BY MARGARET L. This does not revoke the will.
In the legal sense of a last will and testament, you each need to have your own. They can mirror each other, but they must be separate documents.
You can make your own will in the District of Columbia, using Nolos Quicken WillMaker Trust. However, you might want to consult a lawyer in some situations. For example, if you think that your will might be contested or you have especially complicated goals, you should talk with an attorney.
Notarization: Washington law does NOT require a Will to be notarized to be valid only (it is believed) Louisiana does.
He can make a will without your consent. You have a statutory right to a certain percentage of assets upon death even if he leaves you out the will. It is called your elective share so you can challenge the will if he cuts you out unless there was a prenup in which you waived the elective share. Talk to him.

Other Questions - Does a will need to be notarized? No. Under the law in the District of Columbia, the will must be in writing, signed by the testator, and attested and signed by at least 2 credible witnesses in the presence of the testator.
A will can be made in anticipation of marriage, naming the person you intend to marry. In that situation the will remains valid if you marry the named person provided you do so in a relatively short period of time. As you say it has been a few years since the will was written, you should make a new will if you marry.
