Best Answer

The ex-wife may have certain rights to assets or property if they were outlined in a divorce settlement or if she is listed as a beneficiary in a will or estate plan. However, it ultimately depends on the specific circumstances and legal agreements in place. Consulting with an attorney would provide clarity on this matter.

If she is specifically named in the will as an ex-spousethen she will receive that bequest. Otherwise any will made prior to a divorce is void as to the ex-spouse in most jurisdictions. Additionally, if there are minor children, they may be entitled to support for their care paid from the estate.

In general, however, the divorce ends the legal rights that either spouse has to the other's estate.
