Property prevented from passing to the former spousebecause of revocation by divorce or absolute annulment passes as if the formerspouse failed to survive the settlor, and other provisions conferring somepower or office on the former spouse are interpreted as if the former spousefailed to survive the settlor. If provisions are revoked solely by thissection, they are revived by the settlor's remarriage to the former spouse. Thereference to "former spouse" in this section includes a purportedformer spouse.
