How Does A Divorce Actually Affect My Last Will And Testament
Once you get divorced many times your intention changes and that intention is the foundation of a Last Will and Testament. This intention is what the courts need to see when they are looking at your legal document in order to give their final order as to who is to receive the assets. Thus if you have gotten a divorce and your intention has changed then it is very good practice to actually have your attorney change your Will so to reflect your new desire to designate other beneficiaries other than your ex-spouse. The process is very important to deter future litigation because should you not remove your spouse from the legal document then the courts will just have to go with what's in the document and as such your ex-spouse has a very good change of getting a portion of your assets upon your passing.
