Generally, in most common law jurisdictions, a will is void if it was made prior to a marriage, unless it appears from the will that it was made in contemplation of the marriage. A new will must be executed after a marriage takes place. It is impoirtant that you check your state laws.
For example see the following section from Massachusetts Statutes:
- The marriage of a person shall act as a revocation of a will made by him previous to such marriage, unless it appears from the will that it was made in contemplation thereof . . . .

What happens if someone remarries but does not update their will - Are their wishes still valid?
If someone remarries but does not update their will, their previous will may still be considered valid, but the new marriage could have implications depending on jurisdiction. In many places, a new marriage can automatically revoke a will, meaning the individual's wishes may not be honored as intended. However, if the will was created prior to the marriage and not subsequently revoked or altered, it may still be valid, potentially leading to unintended distributions. It's advisable to review and update estate plans after significant life changes like marriage to ensure one's wishes are accurately reflected.
If you divorce your spouse and remarry then later find out your divorce was not finalized what is the status of your new marriage?

Is a will still valid in the state of PA after a new marriage?
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.
