Yes. It is valid until the person makes a new will.

That's why when your circumstances change - with marriage, or death of a spouse or divorce, or the birth of children, you need to review your will and see if it still does what you want it to do. There are many instances in which a person has gotten divorced, and then remarried, and then died - but the person's will still names the ex-spouse. The legal presumption in this case is that the person did not make a new will because he did not want to change it.

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

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.
