Is your will still valid after divorce?

Questioner

Is the will (surviving spouse) still valid after a divorce?

Questioner

Dear questioner, You should check whether the will includes an "escape clause." This clause should stipulate that the spouse is only eligible as an heir if the marriage has not (already) ended in divorce upon death. If this clause is not present, the parties must go to the notary.

Questioner

If this clause isn't present, do both (former) parties need to go to the notary, or can I do it alone? Or with my current partner? Sorry, I wanted to rate your answer a 4 out of 5, but when I clicked on it it said null?

Questioner

A will is an individual document.
