My husband and I have Wills in Texas. We have relocated to Alabama. Do we need to update our Wills? We don't want to change anything in the Wills, so could they be updated by executing a Codicil?
Because different states have different requirements for the execution of Wills (number of witnesses, use of a self-proving affidavit, etc.) and because not every state will accept a Will valid under the laws of another state, when moving to a new state you should see an estate planning lawyer in the new state. That person will be able to answer your questions.
