The short answer is yes BUT is it self proving according to FL law? I think you need 2 witnesses to your signature and a notary to notarize the signatures. Does your executor/administrator qualify under Fl law - lives in Fl, not a felon or is a blood relative (living anywhere.)

The trust is probably ok but could have the signing problems a will might have.
