Unless the agreement of settlement concluded between divorcing parties expressly states so, a maintenance order in favour of an ex-wife terminates on the death of the ex-husband.
Maintenance orders terminate on death of ex-husband
Unless the agreement of settlement concluded between divorcing parties expressly states so, a maintenance order in favour of an ex-wife terminates on the death of the ex-husband. Hodges v Coubrough 1991 (3) SA 58 (D & CLD)
So if you are getting divorced, make sure that provision is made to bind the estate of your ex-husband on his death!
