List former-spouse provisions under a dissolution rule
Key facts

- How AI is used
- The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, Florida Statutes s 732.507(2) provides that a provision affecting the spouse is void when the marriage is dissolved. From the will and the date the marriage ended, list gifts, appointments, and powers in favour of the former spouse, and any contrary intention or judgment text. Do not decide that a gift is revoked.
- What the lawyer must review
- The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, under Florida Statutes s 732.507(2), a provision that affects the spouse is void when the marriage is judicially dissolved or declared invalid, and the will is construed as if the spouse died at that time. The three exceptions are a later-executed provision, a specific contrary intention in the will, and a judgment that expressly provides otherwise. The tool lists the provisions and the exception text that is actually in the file. It does not decide that a gift is revoked. Another state's dissolution construction was not opened. The June 29, 2021 applicability sentence in subsection (3) is part of the check.
