| 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. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: 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.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Wills, intestacy and probate are state law; confirm the governing state before relying on this.
- The Florida example is 2025 Florida Statutes text. The Senate site says the text is unverified. Another state's statute was not opened.
- Do not decide that a gift failed. Confirm the date of death is on or after 29 June 2021 before using this section.
