Once I write a will for how long is it good - Portland, Oregon.

April 13, 2010

In general, a will is in effect until you replace with another will or a trust document. If you marry, however, your will becomes invalid.

Divorce, on the other hand, does not invalidate your will in Oregon. It does, however, revoke the provisions regarding the divorced spouse.  Nothing would go to the divorced spouse and the assets would be distributed to the other beneficiaries.

Is your will or trust invalid? A review by an Estate Planning lawyer can put you at ease  - Contact the Estate Planning lawyers with the Law Offices of Nay & Friedenberg in Portland, Oregon at (503) 245-0894 to set an appointment.
