What impact does a later marriage, divorce, or child have on a will?

If an individual who created a will later gets married or has a child, then the new spouse or child would be classified as a pretermitted spouse or child. As a result, they would have the right to receive a portion of the deceased person’s estate as determined by intestacy laws. Regarding a divorce that occurs after the will is executed, there is a specific law in Florida that will cancel all provisions in the will that benefit the former spouse.
