A Florida Last Will and Testament is a legal document that allows you to specify how your property and assets will be distributed after your death, name guardians for minor children, and designate a personal representative (executor) to manage your estate. Unlike dying without a Will (dying "intestate"), a Florida Will gives you complete control over who receives your property and how your estate is settled.
Creating a Florida Last Will and Testament form is one of the most important estate planning steps you can take. Without a Will, Florida's intestate succession laws determine who inherits your property—often with results you wouldn't have chosen.

Without a Florida Will, state intestate succession laws determine your heirs:
Your spouse may not receive everything (shared with children or parents)
Unmarried partners receive nothing (no matter how long the relationship)
Minor children's inheritance requires court-appointed guardianship
Family members you don't want to inherit may receive property
Charitable organizations cannot receive bequests
Special needs planning is impossible
A Florida Last Will and Testament puts YOU in control of these decisions.
Your Florida Will allows you to:
Nominate guardians for minor children
Create testamentary trusts for children's inheritance
Specify ages when children receive assets
Protect children from irresponsible spending
Ensure funds are available for education
Prevent court-appointed guardianship battles
A clear, legally valid Florida Last Will and Testament:
Reduces family disputes over your estate
Speeds up the probate process
Minimizes court involvement in asset distribution
Protects your family from unnecessary legal expenses
Ensures your personal representative has clear authority

To create a valid Florida Last Will and Testament, you must meet these requirements:
Age: Must be at least 18 years old OR an emancipated minor
Mental Capacity: Must be of sound mind and understand:
The nature and extent of your property
The natural objects of your bounty (who would typically inherit)
The disposition you're making
How these elements relate to form an orderly plan
Written Document: Must be in writing (typed or handwritten)
Signature: Must be signed by the testator (or by someone at the testator's direction in their presence)
Two Witnesses: Must be signed in the presence of two attesting witnesses
Witness Signatures: Both witnesses must sign in the presence of the testator AND each other
No Notarization Required: Florida Wills don't require notarization (but see self-proving affidavit below)
While not required, adding a self-proving affidavit (notarized statement by testator and witnesses) allows the Will to be admitted to probate without witness testimony. This:
Speeds up probate significantly
Eliminates need to locate witnesses years later
Reduces probate complications
Is included in our template package

If you die without a Florida Last Will and Testament, Florida's intestate succession laws (Florida Statutes Chapter 732) determine who inherits:
Spouse inherits everything IF you have no children OR all children are from your marriage to the surviving spouse
Spouse inherits 50% and children inherit 50% IF you have children from another relationship
Spouse inherits 50% IF your spouse has children from another relationship
Children inherit everything equally
Parents inherit if no children
Siblings inherit if no children or parents
Other relatives in order of consanguinity if no closer family
State of Florida if no relatives found (escheat)
Florida does NOT recognize common law marriage. If you're in a long-term relationship but not legally married, your partner receives NOTHING under intestate succession—regardless of how long you've been together or if you share children.
Don't let Florida's intestate laws make these decisions for you. Create your Florida Last Will and Testament today.

No. Florida law allows you to create your own Will without an attorney, as long as you meet the legal requirements (age, capacity, proper execution with witnesses). Our Florida Last Will and Testament template provides everything you need for a legally valid Will. However, you should consult an attorney if you have:
Complex estates (high value, multiple properties, business interests)
Blended families with children from multiple relationships
Special needs beneficiaries requiring supplemental needs trusts
Anticipated Will contests or family disputes
Complicated tax planning needs
No. Florida law does NOT require Last Wills to be notarized. However, adding a self-proving affidavit (which IS notarized) is highly recommended. The self-proving affidavit allows your Will to be admitted to probate without tracking down witnesses years later to testify. Our template includes the proper Florida self-proving affidavit language.
Yes. Florida recognizes holographic Wills (entirely handwritten and signed by the testator), BUT they must still meet the two-witness requirement. A handwritten Will signed by two witnesses is valid. However, a handwritten Will with NO witnesses is NOT valid in Florida—even if entirely in your handwriting. Typed Wills are recommended for clarity and reducing challenges.
You can change your Florida Will by:
Codicil: A separate document that amends specific provisions (must be executed with same formalities as original Will)
New Will: Creating an entirely new Will that revokes all prior Wills (recommended for significant changes)
Our template can be edited and re-executed as many times as needed. Store the most recent version safely and destroy old versions to avoid confusion.
YES, significantly:
Marriage: If you create a Will and then get married, Florida law provides your new spouse with an intestate share unless the Will specifically addresses the marriage
Divorce: Florida law automatically revokes provisions in your Will benefiting a former spouse (unless the Will expressly provides otherwise)
Best Practice: Update your Will after any marriage or divorce
A properly executed Florida Last Will and Testament is generally valid in other states (and vice versa). However, you should review your Will if you:
Move to a community property state (FL is NOT community property)
Move to a state with different witness requirements
Acquire property in another state
Move permanently from Florida to another state
Store your original executed Will in a safe, accessible location:
Fireproof safe at home (tell personal representative the location)
Bank safe deposit box (ensure personal representative can access)
With your attorney (if you used one)
Florida courts (some counties offer Will storage)
NOT recommended: Hidden location no one knows about
Provide copies to your personal representative, but keep the ORIGINAL safe—courts require the original for probate.
Florida probate costs typically include:
Court filing fees: $400-$450 (varies by county)
Personal representative fees: Up to 3% of estate value (can be waived)
Attorney fees: Based on estate value (Florida Statutes § 733.6171):
$1,500 for estates up to $40,000
$2,250 for $40,000-$70,000
$3,000 for $70,000-$100,000
3% of remaining estate value over $100,000
Additional costs: Appraisals, accounting, publication fees
For a $200,000 estate, expect $6,000-$8,000 in probate costs. While probate is unavoidable for assets passing through a Will, using Transfer on Death Deeds and beneficiary designations can reduce probate estate size.
Generally yes, with important exceptions:
Spouse: Florida law provides a surviving spouse with "elective share" rights (30% of the elective estate) even if disinherited in the Will
Minor children: Cannot be completely disinherited
Adult children: CAN be disinherited (should be explicit in Will to prevent challenges)
Best Practice: If disinheriting someone, state it explicitly and explain why to reduce contest likelihood
Florida's homestead protection (Florida Constitution Article X, Section 4) restricts your ability to devise (transfer by Will) homestead property if you have a surviving spouse or minor children:
If you have a surviving spouse, you cannot devise homestead away from your spouse unless spouse waives homestead rights in writing
If you have minor children, homestead passes outside your Will regardless of Will provisions
This is one of Florida's strongest protections for families. You should address homestead separately from your Will using tools like:
Ladybird Deeds (Enhanced Life Estate Deeds)
Life estate arrangements
Proper titling (tenancy by the entireties for married couples)
