In drafting a will, trust, deed, or similar document, the status of "single" applies to those divorced and unmarried to another.

Mr Martin's answer should do the job for you. Note that single will relate to your status as unmarried only as to the date and time that the document was executed, not to a future date that you may then decide to change, sell or convey or mortgage any asset you may be entitled to or have a future interest in. If married at such future dateand a homestead of yours is involved then you will need to join your then spouse even if you are separated and never divorced from the spouse. Therefore single would also have some meaning and application as to the following qualifications or circumstances: pension provisions; realty & personal ownership (even in community property states such as CA, TX etc); creditor protection; taxes.
