Yes. When a spouse is named as a beneficiary in a will and the couple later divorces, the spouse is removed from the will by operation of law unless the testator intended to keep the now ex as a beneficiary. This does not however, operate when it comes to life insurance policies. Therefore, when an ex-spouse was accidently kept on the policy, they will take under it, which is why it is always important to keep your estate planning current and up to date with your life.

Can your parents revoke your license at seventeen?

Take away and revoke are not synonymous in this scenario. I am not aware of a state that a parent can revoke a government issued document but I could be wrong. The state can revoke your license of course under certain penalties but I have never heard of a parent being able to revoke a license. Granted, a parent holds greater rights over a child than the government so theoretically your parents could take away your license among other things but not revoke. I hope that makes sense.
