Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Will from previous marriage
My husband has an open will that was created during his previous marriage when he lived in Alaska. The will has never been updated. If something were to happen to him, without his having an updated will, would that will still be enforced or would life circumstances (new wife, new state, etc) be taken into account?

Re: Will from previous marriage
Your husband needs to update his will. Whenever one moves to a new state it is a good idea to at the very least have someone review your documents and most of the time the attorney will advise executing new documents. In addition, since he has remarried, he especially needs to have his will updated/redone.
