Florida doesn't have a registry of wills, so you just need to bring it with you. Upon moving here, you should probably have your present will reviewed by a Florida attorney to be sure that your estate will not have any difficulties probating your will upon your death. For example, you might want to be sure that the will is self proving. Good luck to you.

You don't need to transfer it. If your will was valid in New York, it should be valid here. But it's probably a good idea to have a Florida attorney review it. Laws vary by state and a lawyer will let you know how Florida law will effect the administration of your estate and if you should make any changes. Regards,
