Revocable Trust not Modified by Later Marriage

A surviving spouse who is not a beneficiary of a revocable trust executed before the marriage is not entitled to an intestate share of the trust under 20 Pa.C.S. § 2507(3) because that section is not a “rule of construction” within the meaning of 20 Pa.C.S. § 7710.2.  In re: Trust under Deed of David P. Kulig, 175 A.3d 22297 MAP 2016 (Pa. 12/19/2017) (opinion by Justice Wecht, with Justices Todd and Dougherty joining; C.J.
