Re: Wills Yes, the will is valid if it is considered valid under Washington law - see the Alabama Code section below. However, if you no longer have property in Washington and/or if your life circumstances should change, I would have another will drafted in accordance with Alabama law (there may be few differences, but you might require more extensive estate planning).

Section 43-8-135 Choice of law as to validity of execution.
