Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Re: A Florida Will

Yes, a will executed in Florida should be valid in Pennsylvania, if it meets the basic requirements of Pennsylvania law: it is made by a person 18 or more years of age who is of sound mind, it is in writing, and it is signed by the testator at the end. However, you should consult with a Pennsylvania attorney to see whether there are additional issues of Pennsylvania law presented in the will and the estate plan that it creates; and if the will is not self-proved, then you should consider executing a new will with local witnesses or making it self-proved; because otherwise you may be dealing with witnesses in Florida who need to be found to help probate the will in Pennsylvania.
