Marriage, Divorce & Annulment: Effect on Wills

Marriage, Divorce & Annulment:  Effect on Wills


There are significant implications on Wills which have been made by a testator/testatrix:

  1. If they have made a Will and that Will is not in contemplation of a future marriage – but the testator/testatrix goes on to marry

  2. If they make a Will whilst married, but go on to divorce

  3. If they make a Will, but the marriage is later deemed as Void.

In any of these circumstances we would urge you to urgently seek advice from our Probate, Wills and Trusts department here Contact Wills Team
