Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Is his will legal
My father-in-law died a few weeks ago and in his will which was done three years ago, he said that everything goes to his wife and stated her name as his. She is from Canada and has been getting Canada to pay her medical. The question is: We can find no proof that they are legally married and she claims they lost all the info. Is the will legal if they are not married?

The will is probably valid. The intent of the maker seems to be clear from what you said. A judge would have to make the final determination if the Will is challanged.
