US law and Canadian law have similarities but are not interchangeable.

It would appear by the wording, however, that the terms of the Will pertain to a current spouse. Usually an ex-spouse is no longer within the boundaries of legal succession of an inheritance unless it is specifically stated that the dissolution of a marriage will have no affect upon the bequeathal.

I live in Canada and the above poster is correct.

DivorceMost divorce decrees in the world include a clause that invalidates any existing wills that refer to the spouse. Life insurance policies, however, are separate contracts and have to be changed by the holder.
