I don't take legal advice from posters on this site. I also do not take medical advice, such as conducting open heart surgery on myself from posters on this site.

Florida Statutes specifies that those giving legal advice without the benefit of being a Florida Lawyer (who has passed the Florida Bar and has been duly admitted) is committing a felony because that person is engaged in the unlicensed practice of law. No money or other item of value need be provided. The felony is committed by providing "legal advice".

The best thing for someone seeking a legal opinion as to the validity of an out of state will or trust in Florida it so suggest that that person seek the advice of a Florida attorney. The attorney's fees are generally reasonable and carry a lot more weight than an opinion issued by a poster to this site with an anonymous nick!
