THE LEGAL FUTURE OF A WILL IN FAVOR OF THE SPOUSE IN MARRIAGE DISSOLUTION (PART ONE)

Abstract

A fairly common practice in the field of civil trafficking is the situation when one of the spouses in his lifetime makes a will in favor of the other spouse. However, marriage between spouses can subsequently be dissolved. And on this basis, the question of the subsequent legal fate of the drawn up will quite naturally arises. What will happen to such a will? Will it automatically become effective upon dissolution of the marriage, or does the ex-spouse have to make a separate act to cancel or amend his earlier will? And what will happen to the will if the testator spouse enters into a new marriage? It is the search for answers to these questions that this article is devoted to.
