Last Will & Testament in Florida
A Last Will and Testament in Florida is a legally binding document that directs how your estate is distributed after death and names a personal representative (executor) to administer your estate. Under Florida Statutes § 732.502, a will must be signed by the testator in the presence of two witnesses, who also sign in each other's presence — failure to follow these requirements can invalidate the will.
Florida does not recognize handwritten (holographic) wills. A will that doesn't comply with § 732.502 may be denied probate entirely, leaving your estate to be distributed according to Florida's intestate succession laws — which may not reflect your wishes.
Your will should be reviewed and potentially updated whenever a major life event occurs: marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a named representative or beneficiary, or significant changes in your assets.
