Question

If my husband and I have a will, POA and health directives drawn up in GA and now are residents of FL, do we have to have all of these documents done over here?

Answer

If the documents satisfy the legal requirements of Florida (and should if they satisfy the

legal requirements of GA), it is not required that they be prepared again, however, for

DPOA's and health directives, a medical facility or agency may require specific information

or prefer one signed within a certain time period.

Answer

Mr. Martin is correct. Make sure the Florida formalities have been followed and the documents will be enforceable here.

Answer

I agree with my colleagues. If I can be of assistance please contact my office for an appointment (904-997-1031). I will be more than happy to draw up your new directives.
