Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My father has lived in Florida for the last 2 years with a type of blood cancer. He is from the United States Virgin Islands, can he create a will and trust from Florida with the legal properties of the virgin islands. Or does he need to find a lawyer from the virgin islands to create the will and trust.

he can utilize an attorney in Florida, but the attorney should be familiar with property in the virgin islands or work with someone who does know this specific law.
