Q: Does a Divorce Revoke a Beneficiary Designation in California? A: Yes. California law revokes most pieces of an estate plan that would provide the former spouse with substantial power or property. This includes gifts or assets left to them as a beneficiary.
The answer is that the divorce process and the final divorce decree DOES NOT change titles and deeds to real property. Deeds are separate legal documents with separate legal rules. As such, different actions must be taken to update and modify deeds based on what happened during the divorce.
If you choose to get remarried, you must have proof that your other marriage has been terminated. A final judgment provides that proof.
In California, designating a former spouse as the beneficiary to a life insurance policy prior to or during marriage will stand, unless: The property settlement or divorce decree specifically provides for a contrary result. The policy holder changes the beneficiary designation.
Does a divorce decree override a named beneficiary? In many cases, a divorce decree doesnt change a beneficiary designation. This means that unless the policyholder changes the beneficiary, that individual or entity may receive the payout upon the policyholders passing, regardless of a divorce.

Yes, it does. If you married someone who passed away before they were able to mention you in their trust or will, it is important to understand that your marriage revokes all previous trust versions, giving you a legal right to inherit a portion of the estate.
A life insurance beneficiary designation usually overrides a current spouse or a will. Spouses in community property states must split the death benefit with the named beneficiary. Review (and update) your beneficiaries any time your situation changes.
