Living Wills in Florida
Florida living wills are governed by Chapter 765 of the Florida Statutes. A living will must be signed in the presence of at least two witnesses, at least one of whom must be a disinterested witness (not a spouse or blood relative of the declarant).
Unlike other states, Florida does not require notarization for a living will to be valid, and **notarization cannot substitute for the witness requirement** — two witness signatures are always mandatory.
