Few things: a) if the will was originally done in another state, you should definitely get a Florida attorney to re-do the will. I found that Florida law is significantly different regarding legality of wills than Indiana for example. b) If any of your investments (bank, stocks funds, etc.) have a clause in it who the funds will be distributed to upon your death - those instructions override a will - so make sure. c) as shared in other responses - a TRUST is generally the best route. A good lawyer will likely do a trust along with several other documents related to health decisions, etc. for a bundled price of under $1,700. If you want to know who I used (who was fantastic) send me a note.
