NOTICE: Dissolution may automatically cancel the rights of a spouse under the other spouse’s will, trust, retirement benefit plan, 
power of attorney, pay-on-death bank account, transfer-on-death vehicle registration, survivorship rights to any property owned in 
joint tenancy, and any other similar instrument. It does not automatically cancel the rights of a spouse as beneficiary of the other 
spouse’s life insurance policy. You should review these matters, as well as any credit cards, other credit accounts, insurance 
policies, retirement benefit plans, and credit reports, to determine whether they should be changed or whether you should take 
any other actions.
