If my wife and I get divorced and don’t do new Wills, would my Will still be valid and would she still be entitled to the interest in my estate that my Will presently gives her and expected to act as my executor if I die?

There is new estate-planning legislation in BC called the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (“WESA”) which came into effect March 31, 2014, and replaced most of our existing estate-planning legislation. Under the WESA, the Will would remain valid, but any gift to your wife or any appointment of her as your executor or trustee is revoked.
