New Jersey § 3a:2a-13
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 3a:2a-13, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 3a:2a-13.
If after having executed a will the testator is divorced or his marriage annulled,
the divorce or annulment revokes any dispositions or appointment of property made
by the will to the former spouse, any provision conferring a general or special power
of appointment on the former spouse, and any nomination of the former spouse as executor,
trustee, or guardian, unless the will expressly provides otherwise. Property prevented from passing to a former spouse because of revocation by divorce
or annulment passes as if the former spouse failed to survive the decedent, and other
provisions conferring some power or office on the former spouse are interpreted as
if the spouse failed to survive the decedent. A judgment from bed and board is a divorce for the purpose of this section. If provisions are revoked solely by this section, they are revived by testator's
remarriage to the former spouse or by the revocation or suspension of a judgment of
divorce from bed and board. No change of circumstances other than as described in this section revokes a will.
