All legal documentation should be carefully evaluated after you file for divorce and preferably before if you have the opportunity. Two key legal documents that most people have executed and might forget about in the wake of the divorce are the will and any pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement. 
If your state allows you to execute a new will after getting a divorce, make use of this option. You most likely do not want your current spouse in charge of your estate and you should remove him or her as the executor.
Think carefully about guardianship of minor children and how this will be affected by your decision to get a divorce. In the event that you have a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement, make sure that you have your divorce attorney review it in light of your divorce.
Verify to see what your spouse is entitled to if anything, in the event that you pass away. Your new estate planning should also be considered consistent with the existing terms of your pre-nuptial agreement. Schedule a consultation with a Pasadena estate planning lawyer to talk further about what to do in the event of a divorce.
