More details to this question:
Dad died 3 months after divorce. He did not update the Will. Will states wife would be executor, but I am named to be executor in the evident she died. Now that they were divorced, does it get trumped to me? Do I have to go through probate?

A Will has no legal effect until a Court admits it to probate (proving). In some states divorce automatically voids the position of a divorced spouse as executor unless the Will specifically provides otherwise. Contact a local probate attorney.
