Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Hard to answer and be sure unless the old will is viewed. Best to have it reviewed by an attorney locally to make sure it will accomplish what you want.

If valid in NY it should be valid in Fla. Best to have someone check it.

If it was validly executed in NY, Florida will accept it. However, the laws are different between the 2 states so it would be worth your while to have it reviewed by a Florida attorney. If you have other estate planning documents, such as a Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney, and Designation of Health Care Surrogate, I would recommend that you have those documents reviewed as well. If you still have property owned in NY, you may want to consider a Living Trust to avoid probate in 2 states.
