The fact is that if your Will was validly executed in your former state of residence, then it is still valid even though you now live in another state. That having been said, whether or not you have moved, if your Will was executed some years ago, you my want to update it. There may have been changes in your life that make it advisable to have a new Will drawn up and signed.
