Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: Wills/ Florida

Yes, but it is not usually advisable, especially if the family member benefits from the disposition of property in the will. It is always better to err on the side of caution.

Any party who inherits under the will should not be a witness to its signing. If any questions or issue arise, this may cause it to be set aside.

The will should be witnessed by two disinterested parties in the presence of a notary public. It must be properly done to be self-proving.
