Overview
Last Wills and Testaments in Florida
Florida wills are governed by the Florida Probate Code. Florida has exceptionally strict execution rules. Every will must be in writing, signed by the testator, and signed by at least two witnesses in the presence of the testator and of each other (Fla. Stat. § 732.502).
**Holographic (handwritten) wills are NOT recognized in Florida**, even if they were legally executed in another state. All wills must be witnessed in accordance with Florida law to be valid.

Questions & Answers
Florida Last Will and Testament — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florida recognize handwritten wills?
No. Florida does not recognize holographic (handwritten) wills that lack witness signatures. Even if written in another state where they are legal, they are void in Florida.
What is the "end of the will" requirement in Florida?
Florida law requires the testator's signature to be at the physical end of the document. Any clauses placed after the signature are void and can invalidate the entire will.
