Divorce or Remarriage/Dissolution of Civil Partnership or new Civil Partnership

Generally divorce/dissolution of civil partnership treats a former spouse/civil partner as if he or she had predeceased you so that no gift will pass to them nor can they act as Executors even if named as such. In other respects however, the rest of the Will remains valid.

If you have made a Will and then marry or remarry, or enter into a Civil Partnership, the Will may be cancelled and the rules of the intestacy would apply. However, a valid Will can be made taking into account a planned marriage/civil partnership or remarriage/new civil partnership which you should indicate below if appropriate.

APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTORS

You may consider appointing a relative or close friend with additional or substitute Executors.

This is a responsible position with some duties imposed by law and you may therefore consider appointing a professional Executor such as a solicitor.

APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS (if you have children)

If you have any children under the age of 18, you should consider appointing at least one Guardian. When one parent dies, the surviving parent normally becomes the legal Guardian, but it is of course possible that both parents may die together, or you may be a single parent. Where a man is not married to the mother of his children he will not automatically become their guardian on the death of the mother.

Please indicate if you require further advice.

We will provide in your Will for your Trustees to have power to make payments to the Guardian for the maintenance, education and general benefit of you children.
