Your documents should be ok. However each state could have some peculiarizes.
In Fl your executor must live in Fl or be YOUR blood relative. This is one problem you could have.
You want the signatures notarized so the will is self proving.
Fl change it POA laws a few years back but the change said older powers are ok. The problem is the financial institution may not accept the power because it does not meet their needs. Probably best to get the Power updated.

Google it and you will find a good explanation.
However putting property in a Lady Bird deed may give you a problem if you want to sell the property or remove the person from the deed. Be sure to talk to a qualified attorney before using.

If the property is homestead and going to the children in the will the property may also avoid probate so be sure to identify the problem you are trying to solve.

"Sham" Shanawany is a great guy, and did all of our work for less than 1/3 of what the Pittman Firm wanted for the same service. Shop a little, save a lot.

We paid $500 in Mass. for all of our end-of-life documents, living wills, etc. etc. I'm curious what you paid and what the other lawyers you didn't go with charged (if I may ask)
