Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
Will made in VA, person lives in PA
If a person originates a will in Virginia, but now resides in Pennsylvania, is the will still valid? If so, is there any special filing that would need to be done in either state? The executor also lives in Pennsylvania. Thank you.

If the will was validly made under Virginia law, it will also be valid in Pennsylvania. Of course there are reasons other than change of residence why a person may want to revise his will - such as remarriage, divorce, birth of a child, significant change of income, etc.
