Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: is a hand written will valid?

Nothing in the Florida statutes require a Will to be typewritten. However, it does need to have two witnesses. With minor children, I would think you would also want a will that sets up a trust to hold your assets and places some controls on how the money is used should you die. Without some information on the person you would like to make gaurdian of your child I cannot offer an opinion as to what the court would do on that issue. Having a Will drafted by an attorney is not an expensive undertaking and considering the importance of what you want to accomplish I would think it a wise investment.
