NOTICE: Dissolution or legal separation may automatically cancel the rights of a spouse under the other spouse’s will, trust,
retirement plan, power of attorney, pay on death bank account, survivorship rights to any property owned in joint tenancy, and any
other similar thing. It does not automatically cancel the right of a spouse as beneficiary of the other spouse’s life insurance policy.
You should review these matters, as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance polices, retirement plans, and credit
reports to determine whether they should be changed or whether you should take any other actions. However, some changes may
require the agreement of your spouse or a court order (see Family Code sections 231–235).
