As a retired attorney who was licensed in NY and NM I believe it would be wise to see a Florida estate planning attorney to review your testamentary/trust documents. Several past threads on TOTV contain local attorney recommendations. The only exception might be if your Mass attorney was also licensed in Florida and proficient in Florida estate practice.
In my experience at law school in the late 1960s and up until 1972 when preparing for the bar exam in NM the law in Mass was unique and at times contrary to that of most if not all other states. In 1972 the new dean of the UNM law school who had moved from Boston was putting together a course for bar exam preparation in NM, a community property state, and was using notes from a Mass bar prep course. We had a lot of laughs over the differences.
