Yes, you should update your estate plan after a divorce. While most state laws such as in Tennessee and Kentucky automatically revoke provisions in your will or power of attorney that name your former spouse as a beneficiary, executor, or agent under a power of attorney, this statutory protection is not a substitute for a comprehensive update. Your existing documents may still reference your former spouse or fail to name new beneficiaries, such as children from a new relationship. Further, trusts and certain beneficiary designations (like those on retirement accounts or life insurance policies) are not always automatically changed by divorce. To ensure your assets are protected and your wishes are carried out, it’s important to meet with an experienced estate planning attorney to revise your documents accordingly.
