Re: wills
Typically a will that was executed in accordance with the laws of the state in which it was created will be excepted, so long as the will is not in violation of the public policy of the state in which it is offered.
I would suggest that you speak with a lawyer in regards to the formalities in which the FL will was created before deciding to fight or ignore it.

Generally, your answer is yes. However, it the person's domicile is now in NY, it would be better to have a New York attorney draft a new will in accordance with New York State law.
