In most cases your legal documents should be ok. But it is best to have them reviewed by an attorney that is practicing in FL. Maybe cheaper to have the attorney draft new documents. Trusts that includes your Fl home could be a problem due to the homestead laws (I think there are 3 different laws, not just the real estate one)
One problem you could have is that the administrator/executor of your will can not be a felon or resident of another state (this is probably the problem) unless the person is a blood relative (not sure if your spouses blood relative counts, my guess is they do not)
