Shannen Doherty Understood That With Divorce, Timing is Everything.

Divorce is a common life event that many Americans face during their lifetime. Some states have laws that automatically end an ex-spouse’s appointment as decision-maker in their spouse’s estate plan with the ending of their marriage, as well as their right to any inheritance to which they may have been entitled. However, what happens if you die after you file for divorce but before it becomes final? Shannen Doherty faced this same question. In her case, the divorce was deemed to be finalized before her death.
