        633A.3107  EFFECT OF DIVORCE OR DISSOLUTION.
         1.  If, after executing a revocable trust, the settlor is divorced
      or the settlor's marriage is dissolved, all provisions in the trust
      in favor of the settlor's spouse or of a relative of the settlor's
      spouse, including but not limited to dispositions, appointments of
      property, and nominations to serve in any fiduciary or representative
      capacity, are revoked by divorce or dissolution of marriage unless
      the trust instrument provides otherwise.
         2.  Unless the trust instrument provides otherwise, in the event
      the settlor and spouse remarry each other, the provisions of the
      revocable trust revoked by the divorce or dissolution of marriage
      shall be reinstated unless otherwise modified by the settlor, except
      for provisions in favor of a person who died prior to the remarriage
      which shall not be reinstated.
         For the purposes of this section, "relative of the settlor's
      spouse" means a person who is related to the divorced settlor's
      former spouse by blood, adoption, or affinity, and who, subsequent to
      the divorce or dissolution of marriage, ceased to be related to the
      settlor by blood, adoption, or affinity.
