You may or may not have to change you will, trust, etc., once you become a Florida resident but you definitely should have it checked by a legal professional (a lawyer) to make sure it is up to snuff for Florida. I would also suggest you get a lawyer who is certified to handle "Elder Affairs" in Florida. It seems like wills, trusts, etc., often belong to elders and they may have some other advice for you. A good resource is The Daily Sun. Several local lawyers offer seminars, some under the auspices of AARP, on elder affairs to include wills, estates, probate, trusts, etc. Either contact AARP for some names or watch the paper. The peace of mind you get from knowing it is right is well worth the small expense.
