A Will may also be changed by preparing a new Will revoking the prior Will or by destroying the old Will. Care must be taken when destroying a Will to avoid intestacy (death without a Will).
A Will may also be changed by independent events such as divorce or adoption. In certain states, a divorce automatically revokes any bequest to the former spouse. In other states, laws provide that a divorce revokes the Will entirely. A new Will should be prepared in order to remove the spouse as a beneficiary and/or fiduciary. The beneficiary designations on life insurance policies and retirement benefits should also be reviewed.
