If I am an executor named in my fathers Will and he gets married is this Will still legal and binding?

Answer 1

In the United States whether marriage revokes a will varies by state so you must check the laws in your particular jurisdiction. Generally, marriage invalidates a Will made prior to the marriage unless the Will was executed in contemplation of marriage. In a few states in the U.S. a Will remains valid after a subsequent marriage. However, intestate laws in every state give a surviving spouse a share of the spouses estate. Therefore, even if the spouse was not mentioned in the Will made before the marriage, the law would provide them with a portion of the estate of the decedent.

Answer 2

The will is still going to be valid. However, the spouse will have the ability to claim parts of the estate.

Answer 3

Yes, unless he creates a new Will.
