Yes, a spouse can be a beneficiary even if they remarry, unless the original will or trust specifies otherwise. If the document designates them as a beneficiary, their marital status change does not automatically revoke that designation. However, it's important to review the specific laws and provisions in the relevant jurisdiction, as they can vary. Always consult with a legal professional for personalized advice.

Is the spouse the surviving issue of the beneficiary in a will?

No, the spouse is not considered a surviving issue of the beneficiary in a will. "Issue" typically refers to direct descendants, such as children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, while a spouse is a separate legal relationship. In estate planning, the term "beneficiary" usually refers to someone designated to receive assets, which can include a spouse, but they do not fall under the definition of "issue."
