Best Answer

In most states in the US a surviving spouse has the statutory right to a portion of the estate when they have been "left out" of the will.

If a divorced testator forgot to change her/his will and an ex-spouse was included as a devisee, the gift is voided by a divorce unless the will states specifically the gift is valid even after a divorce.

The attorney who is handling the estate will explain the laws in your state.
