Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Wills, Power of Attorney, Living Wills
We lived in Ohio and in 2004 moved to Florida. We had our ''simple'' Wills, Power of Attorney, Living Wills, etc., done in Ohio. Nothing has changed in these documents except our address. Do we need to have these documents reviewed and changed? Thank you!

Re: Wills, Power of Attorney, Living Wills
You should have them reviewed to make sure their execution meets Florida's requirements (two witnesses). It is also advisable that they be notarized to avoid having to "prove" the will in probate. You should consult a local attorney.
