Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 394

If after executing a will the testator is divorced or his marriage annulled, the divorce or

annulment revokes any disposition or appointment of property made by the will to the

former spouse, any provision conferring a general or special power of appointment on the

former spouse, and any nomination of the former spouse as executor, trustee, conservator

or guardian, unless the will expressly provides otherwise. Property prevented from

passing to a former spouse because of revocation by divorce or annulment passes as if the

former spouse failed to survive the decedent, and other provisions conferring some power

or office on the former spouse are interpreted as if the spouse failed to survive the

decedent. If provisions are revoked solely by this section, they are revived by the

testator's remarriage to the former spouse.
