Wills and Powers of Attorney

Review your Last Will and any Powers of Attorney frequently – particularly following divorce.

Divorce affects Last Will

The divorce order terminates any testamentary provision in your existing will or under the laws of intestacy for your former spouse, including any appointment as your executor or trustee.

Including an ex-spouse in a Will

You may provide a testamentary gift for your former spouse, or choose to have them act as your executor. Your will must be executed after the entry of your final order of divorce or subsequent to the date of any separation and/or property settlement agreement that waived these rights and/or interests.
