Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
if amending a will thru a different attorney, does the living will, power of attorney, and anything else through the original attorney have to be redone?
3 Answers from Attorneys
If the documents followed Florida law and state your wishes than they don't need to be redone. Let the new attorney review them with you to make sure they accomplish what you want.
No-but I recommend that power of attorneys, living wills, and health care surrogate
documents be updated every three years to keep current dates and a pattern of intent
in place.
You should reach out to the old attorney and ask them to return or destroy the old documents once the new ones are complete, particularly if they are holding any originals.
