Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
In Florida my father passed away in 2021 with a will but no witness or notary for signature. Only my father's signature and date signed was on the document. Is this a legal will, looks like printed from an online form.

No. Estate assets would be distributed via Court Intestacy.

Not a valid will without witnesses and notarization of testator. Seek legal advice with the documents that you do have.

No, it is not a valid Florida Will. The Will must be signed by two attesting witnesses.
