If the will is never updated and, under state law, the divorce voids certain inheritances, it’s possible that not all of one’s property and assets can be disbursed as intended.

If an individual and their ex-spouse cannot raise their children together, someone should be designated in their will as a guardian to care for those children.

Most initial wills created during a marriage leave the spouse everything or nearly everything. If the will was created before the marriage but amended, it, too, most likely gives the spouse all or almost all assets.

Wishing you a lucky St. Patrick's Day filled with lots of joy, green, and laughter! 🍀🌈🎉

Depending on laws and regulations that differ across states, individuals may be restricted in the actions they can take to disinherit their spouse (even a soon-to-be ex-spouse), transfer assets, or change beneficiaries on retirement accounts during divorce proceedings.

Certain arrangements made in the past that listed an ex-spouse as an executor or gave them an inheritance could become void upon divorce, depending on state law. All other clauses of the will remain in force.

In some (but not all) states, divorce revokes any gifts left to a former spouse in a will that was created before the divorce. The gift awarded to the ex-spouse in the will may instead be allocated to the residuary beneficiary or an alternate beneficiary.

If one’s estate plans were established or amended during the marriage, the divorcing spouses must update their estate plans. Should they neglect to keep their estate plans up to date, one individual’s assets could pass to their former spouse in the event of their death.

Not updating the will could lead to unintended consequences, such as assets going to the ex-spouse instead of new family members or other suitable beneficiaries.

After a divorce, it’s essential to revisit one’s estate plan and update one’s will to reflect their current wishes.
