Do I need a new will?

Q. My wife and I have both a will and a living will prepared by an attorney here in Florida. Is the will still valid or do we need a new one prepared by an attorney in Ohio?

A. When you move to a new state, you should always have your estate planning documents reviewed by a lawyer in that state. Simply moving to a new state does not invalidate your will. However, each state has its own rules for probate and using the right language can prevent potential problems for your beneficiaries. Just for example, states have rules about witnesses and who can serve as your personal representative or executor.
