REVOCATION BY DIVORCE -- NO REVOCATION BY OTHER CHANGES OF
CIRCUMSTANCES. If after executing a will the testator is divorced or his
marriage annulled, the divorce or annulment revokes any disposition or
appointment of property made by the will to the former spouse, any provision
conferring a general or special power of appointment on the former spouse, and
any nomination of the former spouse as executor, trustee, conservator, or
guardian, unless the will expressly provides otherwise. Property prevented
from passing to a former spouse because of revocation by divorce or annulment
passes as if the former spouse failed to survive the decedent, and other
provisions conferring some power or office on the former spouse are
interpreted as if the spouse failed to survive the decedent. If provisions are
revoked solely by this section, they are revived by testator's remarriage to
the former spouse. For purposes of this section, divorce or annulment means
any divorce or annulment which would exclude the spouse as a surviving spouse
within the meaning of subsection (b) of section 15-2-802 of this code. A
decree of separation which does not terminate the status of husband and wife
is not a divorce for purposes of this section. No change of circumstances
other than as described in this section revokes a will.
