Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Your question must be answered in a general manner, subject to many qualification depending on the situation and the will. A will which is drafted and executed according to Florida law remains valid after the testator is married or divorced, however, the changed status of his/her marriage could affect certain provisions of the will where the provision conflicts with state law regarding the rights of spouses. For example, through marriage a spouse acquires certain rights to property acquired during the marriage regardless of the will.

The will is still valid. It is wise however to update the will. Still, the spouse will be provided for as a pretermitted spouse.

My colleagues are correct. As pretermitted spouse - you will have some rights.

Though legal, the will should be updated so there are no family disputes later on.
