It can be easy to forget about important legal documents, such as your Will, when you are going through a relationship breakdown. In many cases, if you have these documents in place, you would have included your former spouse as a beneficiary, executor of your estate, or even appointing them as your Power of Attorney.
It is vital that you review your estate plan, including any superannuation and life insurance nominations, as soon as possible after separating from your spouse.
Any gift you have in your Will which you had previously intended to leave to your spouse will become invalid on divorce.
