It needs to follow Florida statutory legalities, it may, but you need it to be reviewed by an Attorney in Florida to make sure.

If the will was executed properly in NY, Florida will recognize the will. However,because the two states have different laws, you should get it reviewed by a Florida attorney. Depending on the will, it may make sense to have it redone. I would be happy to review it for you.
