{| |- | No, you do not. If the children are minors, the court may make a change to insure that they are not left as wards of the state. You should name all of the children as natural heirs, but there is no requirement to leave them anything. |}

Is a Illinois Will valid in Florida?

Yes. An Illinois Will is valid in Florida. The lawyers in Florida recommend that it be updated if a person moves to Florida to reflect new circumstances. If someone sells Illinois property but retains it in a will while purchasing Florida property and does not list it in the will, it can cause problems. Sometimes people want to leave 50,000 to a niece and the rest to children, but hospital bills take the 500,000 they intended to leave to children and the niece gets the last 25,000. Florida lawyers have seen all sorts of pitfalls caused from using out of state wills not updated by new circumstances.

What can you do if he won't leave and he doesn't want to be with you but you have children and no place to go and he says you have to leave?

Make him leave. It is easier for one person to leave than the rest of you. He is selfish and is not thinking of the children when he wants to turn you all out onto the street. Refuse to go, if he doesn't like being with you, then he should leave. Also, be sure to get child support and alimony - if you were married. Be prepared for a fight, something is up with this guy and it doesn't make sense that he wants you out so quickly. Perhaps he is seeing someone else?

If I don't name all my children as heirs can they contest my will?

The rules are different in different jurisdictions. You should have your will drafted by an attorney who specializes in probate to make certain it effectively disinherits any children you wish to leave out. Generally, a will contest cannot prevail if the will is properly drafted for a legally competent testator. You may need to name all the children in the will, but you do not have to leave them anything.
