A will was drafted some 20+ years ago in New Jersey. Have since retired to Florida and want to void the will? All of my assets are designated by beneficiaries.

Pursuant to Florida law, the revocation of a will can occur in three ways: revocation by writing, revocation by physical act, and revocation by operation of law. Revocation by writing is controlled by Florida Statutes Section 732.505. So, destroy it and any copies, or make a new one that revokes prior wills to include burial/funeral arrangements or any other worldly possessions that you want to make sure go to a particular person. Also, consider getting a living will and power of attorney if you haven't already. Contact an attorney licensed in Florida for additional help, as laws vary by state. Regards,
