Can anyone recommend a good lawyer to update our wills from another state? There are so many giving presentations and free consultations, it is hard to choose.

She is a very experienced attorney specializing in estate and business law. She is also honest, efficient and very reasonable. In our case she registered our property with an inexpensive "ladybird deed" to protect it from probate. She could have done a more expensive trust but told us "many trusts are initiated by lawyers who want to collect higher fees".

One add-on question.

If a person has a will in another state or country (Canada) which lists their FL property and contents as an asset, do they also need a will prepared for Florida to avoid probate?

Wills do not avoid probate. Trusts are used to avoid probate

I'm a snow bird from Wis. 5 1/2 mo. there & a Fl. resident for 6 1/2 mo. I have a Wis. trust; do I have to have it redone since I am now a Fl. RESIDENT?
Any retired lawyers out there with advise on this matter?

Call Arlene Udick. Unless things are more complicated than presented here, I believe she will give you the answer over the phone.

Another vote for Susan Sullivan. She'll only do what is needed and if yours is OK she'll tell you. Not out to take you over the coals.

I am retired Judge and former lawyer from Wisconsin. I think it prudent to have all of your estate plan documents from Wisconsin reviewed for compliance with Florida law.

Post #3 by Mac gives Susan Sullivan's contact info, 352 689-0045.

Another vote cast for Susan Sullivan...professional, extremely knowledgeable and asked us what we would prefer in certain circumstances that never even occurred to us but were right on target if you're doing your last wishes. We were very satisfied and have referred her to many.

Another vote for Susan Sullivan. She did all our family's documents and we continually use her for any legal needs. Thankfully, that's not very often!
