yesterday i saw a topic discussed under heading 'MIRROR WILL'and that made me understood what the will is all about and i mentally coined another word for it SPOUSES WILL just so that i can keep the concept inmy mind.
BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY A QUESTION AROSE IN MY MIND WHAT IF UNION GETS BROKEN BY DIVORCE BUT WILL IS NOT REVOKED AND THE OTHER SPOUSE DYES?HOW THE WILL SHALL GET ENFORCED?
regards,
laxman.

It is not uncommon for people to divorce or re-marry.
A Will containing gifts for an ex -partner will automatically be amended, as though that person had died, upon divorce or your re-marrying with someone else.
When you have a Will you must make sure you update to reflect important changes in your life, to ensure that its legality is not compromised.
