Yes it can be. In fact it occurs quite a bit. Specifically when someone lives in one county when making up the Will and then moves to another when they pass away.

The same thing applies when a Will created in another state is used, and the decedent never updates the Will once becoming a Florida resident. Then, as long as the Will complies with Florida Statutes it is still valid.
