Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Divorce or annulment of the marriage of the testator revokes every devise, beneficial interest or designation to serve as personal representative given to the testator’s former spouse in a will executed before the entry of the decree of divorce or annulment unless otherwise:

1. Provided in a property or separation agreement which is approved by the court in the divorce or annulment proceedings; or

2. Ordered by the court in the divorce or annulment proceedings,

Ê and the will takes effect in the same manner as if the former spouse had died before the testator.
