Divorce may have implications for your will, but it does not automatically revoke it. Key considerations include:
Effect of Divorce: In many jurisdictions, divorce can have the effect of treating your former spouse as if they had predeceased you for the purposes of your will.
Updating Your Will: After divorce, it is crucial to review and update your will to reflect your current wishes, especially if you no longer want your former spouse to benefit from your estate.
Beneficiary Changes: Divorce may impact the beneficiaries named in your will, particularly if you had named your former spouse as a beneficiary or executor.

General Quesitons

After divorce, it is essential to review and update your will to ensure that it aligns with your current intentions, especially regarding beneficiaries and executors.

Wildings Solicitors specializes in wills and probate matters and can provide expert legal guidance and assistance in updating your will to reflect your post-divorce wishes and comply with legal requirements.
It is advisable to update your will as soon as possible after divorce to ensure that it accurately reflects your current intentions and avoids any unintended consequences.
Financial Related
The process for negotiating a financial settlement can be done in two ways. Firstly, if financial matters are agreed upon between both parties a finance consent order can then be drafted and filed with the court alongside the relevant paperwork.
On the other hand, if matters are not agreed upon between parties and where there is a financial dispute regarding assets and finances, it would then be recommended to go through the court process of obtaining a financial order. This process is generally quite lengthy and consists of financial hearings and full financial disclosure from both parties. Once a settlement is agreed a final order will then be granted.
If Children Involved
If you have a genuine fear that your ex-partner will not return the children back to you or the UK where they are usually resident, we will make an emergency application with the Family Courts for a Prohibited Steps Order.
Unfortunately, grandparents do not have parental rights and therefore an application needs to be made to the court initially. You will need to ask the court for permission to make an application for contact under Form C100. Our team is on hand to support you through such cases.
If you have parental responsibility, our family team can make an application to the family courts requesting a contact arrangement.
Here at Wildings, we would guide you through the process, whilst ensuring that we obtain the best and most effective result for you.
In such cases, we would initially recommend mediation. Should matters continue to not be resolved, we would then advise you on what application should be made to the court to finalise arrangements.
About Your Safety
If you are in fear for your safety or have experienced either physical, verbal, emotional, or psychological abuse, control, coercion, harassment or threatening behaviour, we are able to make an ex-parte non-molestation order to protect you from the forms of harassment above. Should there be an occupational dispute concerning property, we are also able to make an application for an occupation order.
