If you move to another state, a will that was validly executed in your previous state is generally still considered valid in your new state. However, there are some important nuances to consider: Different State Laws: Although many states have similar basic requirements for will validity, such as the testator’s age and mental capacity and the necessity for witnesses, the specific details can vary. Some states may have nuances in their requirements that could potentially impact the validity or interpretation of certain provisions in your will. Property and Specific References: If you acquire property in your new state or if there are specific references in your will that are tied to your previous state, these might need reconsideration and potential revision to suit your new state’s laws or context. Executor/Appointee Regulations: Some states have specific regulations concerning out-of-state executors or other appointees. If your will names someone from your previous state as your executor, the new state might impose additional requirements or restrictions on them. Marital Property: Moving between community property states and common law property states can affect how marital property is viewed and divided. If you move from or to a community property state, this change could have implications for how assets are distributed in your will. New State’s Provisions for Out-of-State Wills: Some states have provisions that specifically address the validity of wills executed in other states. These provisions might explicitly validate out-of-state wills if they were validly executed under the laws of the originating state. Recommendation: While your will might remain valid after moving, it’s prudent to consult with an estate planning attorney in your new state. They can review your will to ensure it complies with the new state’s laws and can advise on any updates or revisions that might be beneficial or necessary. Reviewing your will after a move is a proactive approach that can prevent potential complications and disputes in the future.
