Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington

Re: will

Depends on the wording of the Will. You should have an attorney look at it. But there is a presumption that the former spouse is no longer a beneficiary if they are named as such as a spouse and not just by name. However, life insurance is different. If you named your ex-spouse by name and have since divorced it is assumed that you meant to take off the former spouse. HOWEVER, this presumption only lasts for a year after which it is assumed that you meant to keep the former spouse as a beneficiary. If both spouses are alive CHANGE YOUR WILLS.
