MS HB650

Divorce causes all property in a will to pass as though the former spouse predeceased the testator, unless the will expressly provides otherwise.

Divorce nullifies any provisions granting the former spouse a power of appointment or nominating them as executor, trustee, conservator, or guardian, unless the will expressly provides otherwise.

Property prevented from passing to the former spouse passes as if they predeceased; remarriage to the former spouse revives nullified provisions unless a new will has been executed.

Annulment has the same effect as divorce on will provisions, nullifying rights and nominations of the former spouse unless the will expressly provides otherwise.

Effective July 1, 2010.
