§ 268. Declaration — revocation by divorce.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in a declaration instrument, a subsequent divorce, dissolution of marriage, annulment of marriage, or legal separation between the declarant and spouse automatically revokes a delegation to the declarant's spouse to direct the disposition of the declarant's last remains or ceremonies after the declarant's death. This section shall not be construed to revoke the remaining provisions of the declaration instrument.
