Is a Michigan will valid in the State of Florida?
Full Question:
Answer:
Any will, other than a holographic or nuncupative will, executed by a nonresident of Florida, is valid as a will in this state if valid under the laws of the state or country where the testator was at the time of execution.
A nuncupative will is an oral will that must have two witnesses and can only deal with the distribution of personal property. A nuncupative will is considered a "deathbed" will, meaning that it is a safety for people struck with a terminal illness and a written will is not able to be drafted. The nuncupative device is usually useable only in situations of extreme emergency.
A holographic will is one that is entirely written, dated, and signed in the handwriting of the testator (person making the will), rather than typewritten or printed.
