| 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(1) provides that a later marriage does not revoke the will, and s 732.301 states a pretermitted-spouse share. From the will and the marriage date, list any gift or appointment in favour of the person the testator marries, and any words that provision was made, waived, or intentionally withheld. Do not decide that the will is revoked. |
| What the lawyer must review | The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, Florida Statutes s 732.507(1) provides that a subsequent marriage does not revoke the prior will, and points the pretermitted spouse to s 732.301. That section's three exceptions are a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, provision for the spouse in the will, and an intention disclosed in the will not to provide for the spouse. The share, if the section applies, is equal in value to the intestate share and is obtained under section 733.805, which was not opened. The tool lists the gifts and the words. It does not decide that the will is revoked. This is not an Australian revocation-by-marriage rule. It applies, under section 732.507(3), to decedents who die on or after 29 June 2021. |

## 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(1) provides that a later marriage does not revoke the will, and s 732.301 states a pretermitted-spouse share. From the will and the marriage date, list any gift or appointment in favour of the person the testator marries, and any words that provision was made, waived, or intentionally withheld. Do not decide that the will 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 import an Australian revocation-by-marriage rule. Section 733.805 was not opened, so the source of the share is not stated.
