supersede
Take over from
When one thing supersedes another, the first takes the place of the second because it is newer or better, or has greater authority.
Supersede is used mainly in reference to abstract things: The agreement supersedes one that the parties made only two months ago. In this particular case, federal bankruptcy law supersedes state law since both companies operate nationally.
Something that has been superseded is no longer effective or valid.
