In most cases, particularly in community property states, spouses often name one another as their beneficiaries in wills and estate planning documents. After divorce, you’ll likely want to change those designations immediately.

Some assign power of attorney for various healthcare matters to spouses, for example, including the ability to make life-or-death decisions such as whether or not to sustain life support. Examine your documents and make sure they express your current intentions.
