Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Hello, we had a will written up for myself, my husband, my daughter and my 3 grandchildren. My husband and myself are getting a divorce with nothing changing in the will. Do we need to revise anything in the will before or after the divorce?

Yes. You need to reports will � the same will, with the same terms, but it needs to be signed again, after the divorce.

The reason is that, under Texas law, a divorce will nullify any dispositive provisions of the will in favor of the spouse that was divorced.
