Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
divorced, back together but not married, status on wills
I was divorced for 2 years, sinc have reconciled but not married again. Years prior to our divorce we made out wills, which we for the most part gave everything to each other. Those papers stated that we were married to each other, and gave most everything to one & other.
Legally where does this leave the status of our wills. Since we have not remarried & wills state we are married, does it make our wills null & void.
If we do not remain together, does that change the status of the wills then.

Re: divorced, back together but not married, status on wills
For a number of reasons, it would be a good idea to consult with an attorney about this situation. The divorce would nullify any bequests between husband and wife in the original wills. Also, and assuming that you reside in Louisiana, the nature of any property you and your former spouse acquire would be diffrent. If you are not married, any property acquired would be as co-owners, and not community property.
