Does a divorce or annullment void a bequest?
Yes, a divorce or annullment voids a bequest. If the will was made prior to the divorce, it must be read as if the now former spouse did not survive the testator. Additionally, a divorce or annullment voids any appointment of the former spouse to any fiduciary capacity (i.e. executor, trustee) under the will. For more information refer to Section 69 of the Texas Probate Code.
