SF 100 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Designation of spouses-revocation upon divorce or annulment.

This Wyoming bill (SF 100) automatically cancels property transfers to a former spouse in wills, trusts, or other estate plans upon divorce or annulment. It directly affects individuals who divorce and had designated their ex-spouse as beneficiary or fiduciary in legal documents. Key provisions include revoking all dispositions to the former spouse (including their relatives), severing joint property ownership into tenancies in common, and reviving these transfers if the divorced person remarries. The law applies to all existing and future wills and estate documents without requiring changes to the original documents. It does not impact third-party property buyers who relied on survivorship rights in good faith.
