I think Mr. White provided the better, more direct answer to your question. Unless the will expressly provides otherwise, if after executing a will the testator's marriage is dissolved or annulled, the dissolution or annulment revokes all of the following:
(i) any disposition or appointment of property made by the will to the former spouse;
(ii) any provision of the will ocnferring a general or special power of appointment to the former spouse;
(iii) and any provision of the will nomiinating the former spouse as executor, trustee, conservator, or guardian. (Prob. Code, sect. 6122.)
