The Will may be valid, but it would have to be examined first. The part that is hand written on the bottom may not be, but if you proceed to cremate her probably you will be OK. Hopefully nobody in the family objects. You probably would have to try and track down a witness.
I highly suggest to meet right away with a Probate Attorney. If I can be of further service, please let me know. 954-752-1732.
a will written in NY is valid in Florida. The handwritten part may not be; depends on when it was placed there.
