Update Will + Revoke Existing Will — Day-One Estate Protection
In every Australian state, marriage revokes a previous will but separation alone does NOT. Until divorce, your existing will (probably leaves everything to your spouse) is still operative. If you die separated but not divorced, your spouse inherits the lot. Make a new will within days.
