My attorney, a Fl elder attorney, said in general estate documents drawn in other states should be good in Fl. However a non Fl attorney may not know all Fl rules so at some point probably best to have new documents drawn.
The major problem could be your executor. In Fl any non Felon Fl resident can be the executor but if not a resident must be a blood relative. I have mixed comments on if your blood relative can be your spouses executor. Be sure the will is self proving.
