Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Tennessee

Does Will and Power of Attorney need changing after divorce?

My Will lists my ex-husband as my beneficiary and executor and my Power of Attorney also lists him. It has his name and then it states ''spouse''. Although he is no longer my spouse, it is my intention that remain my beneficiary, executor and I still want him to have Power of Attorney. Do I have to get all these documents changed just because it says ''spouse''? Or will the fact that it does have his name on it be sufficient? Thanks for your help.

If I were you, I'd change it. Having you ex designated as spouse, has the potential of causing problems. It would mean having all of the documents re-drafted. I can help. 423 266-4855
