Question

After a divorce does the will the couple signed when married become void?

Answer

The will itself doesn't get voided, but any provision in the will for the ex-spouse gets voided. All the rest of the will stays in effect. The trouble is, often the ex is named as, say, the guardian, trustee or executor. If there's no substitute named, it could cause a problem.
