Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My final divorce decree states that my wife remain the personal representative of my last will and testament. Can this be overridden with a new will? I am in the State of Florida.

Never heard of such a thing. Did you actually agree to this in your divorce decree? May be time for a new will depending on your natural heirs and assets.

Yes. You need to make sure your estate planning documents are in sync with your new life.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.

Never heard of such a term/condition of divorce. You need to consult estate/trust attorney ASAP. If the term is valid you may file a Petition to Modify the final judgment.
