If someone is long since divorced and they haven't update the will (ie ex-spouse is named in will)- what happens to their estate when they die?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Divorce does not invalidate a will. It is treated as if the former spouse died on the day the decree absolute was issued.

Ok thanks. That makes sense I think.
