Just remember that a trust is not like a will. A will needs to be executed by a Florida court, but a trust is executed by the trustee and doesn't need to go through a probate court. So, it is less important to be concerned about Florida law. Not to say that a Florida lawyer would not be helpful.

I am the trustee for a trust that was prepared in Virginia. Several lawyers in Florida have recommended that I keep the trust "situs" in Virginia and use a Virginia lawyer for advice. They will not provide any advice about a non-Florida trust. If you use a Florida lawyer, they will probably require that you prepare a new trust which will probably cost more than the one you already have and be more complicated.
