Re: New will going and through a divorce
He is automatically eliminated from your old will upon divorce.
Depending on your assetts, you should seriously consider a living trust rather than a will.
Re: New will going and through a divorce
Because he's not eliminated under the law as a beneficiary until your divorce is final, you should list him in the will as your current spouse and note that a dissolution action is pending. The will can also state that you are with full knowledge disinheriting him as a beneficiary and that you intend to remove him completely as a beneficiary.
