That is not necessarily the case if you are now a Florida resident. I know of a resident that moved from Michigan and had to have an addendum made to their Michigan Trust to make it compliant with Florida law. If you haven’t checked with. FL lawyer regarding the CT Trust compliance I would recommend that you do so soon.

Normally your legal documents need to comply with the state you are an official resident of.
