Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Adult children previous marriage
Am I required to include adult children from previous marriage (40+ yrs ago ) in my will? If not do I have to state the fact that I am not including them?
Thanks You

You do not have to, and it's a good idea to state specifically in the will that you are NOT including them "for reasons personal to yourself".
Re: Adult children previous marriage
Florida law does not require that you leave anything to your adult children in your will. That said, if you do not have a will, or if your will is invalid, your adult children may have a claim on your estate. Your spouse will have a claim on your estate regardless of what your will says. Best to discuss these matters with an attorney in your area.
