Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Wisconsin
Will Validity
My Wife and I had wills drawn up when we lived in Wisconsin. Are those wills valid in North Carolina? And will we have any problem having them accepted into probate?

Re: Will Validity
You should contact a NC attorney for the answer. Each
state has the right to set execution requirements, such
as the number of witnesses. Wisconsin only requires
two witnesses. If NC requires 3, such a will may not
be admissible to probate there. Thus, you will want to
contact an NC attorney for the answer. If the execution
requirements are the same, the "full faith and credit"
clause of the US Constitution would mean your wills
are still valid in NC.
