If the documents were valid in Mass., then they will be valid in NJ.

However, as there are differences (both tax and otherwise) from state to state, I would recommend that you have an experienced estate planning attorney review the documents with you and determine if an update is needed. It probably makes sense to update all your documents so that they are drafted in accordance with NJ law.

When you move, you should always have your Will and Estate Plan reviewed by an attorney in the new State.

I hope this helps!
