Florida Last Will and Testament Form

A Florida last will and testament form contains instructions for what will happen to a person’s property, called their “estate,” after they die. Wills are created by a person, known as a testator, before they die, and the distributions they describe are legally enforceable. An estate without a will is subject to Florida’s intestate succession laws, meaning that property passes to a predetermined set of heirs, rather than the persons or organizations the testator wants.

Laws – Chapter 732 (Intestate Succession and Wills)

Signing Requirements (§ 732.502) – Wills must be signed by the testator. The testator must sign in the presence of at least two witnesses, who must also sign the will.
